Biker Babe

Is she really getting that big? Brooklyn is now on two wheels. She decided that her old, wobbly training wheels needed to go. She was determined! We took her to the soccer fields at the elementary school and sent her down a couple of grassy hills. We figured it would be a softer landing. Riding on grass is difficult so the transition to the blacktop was a piece of cake! She took off like she'd been riding her entire life! Now we just need to work on starting, stoping, and steering. All ready to go! She's flexing those biking muscles. This is the only photo I got of her on two wheels, then the camera batteries died! Arg!

Now we have a three year old who thinks his training wheels need to go. Refer to post titled "captain disaster." Need I say more?



Update: I finally got a video of Brooklyn on two wheels! We went for a 3 mile walk/bike at Glacier Ridge yesterday which greatly improved her starting and stopping. Steering is a work in progress. We've now moved her to a bigger bike and are having to start all over again. Yeesh.
