"I Got It"

Sophie loves to be outside! From the first days home, as soon as it was warm enough, she wanted to go outside to play. She picked up pedaling quickly on the little plastic tricycle. Good thing she is so little! That was the easy part, but she obviously didn't know how to steer! 

I posted a while back about how she had learned how to steer and was able to ride her big bike with training wheels.

Drum roll please...............

TA DA!!

No more training wheels!       

It was scary for her! She was able to tell us that. 

A good trust activity. We had to prove to her that we could run beside her holding onto her/her bike while she was trying to balance. She did great! That night she said, "I got it"!!

Then today after trying for a week, she finally was able to start by herself! She was SO excited! Again she said, "I got it!" Then she said, "show Daddy" (who was at work). She was so excited to show everyone! After picking up Josh from school, she said to Katie sitting next to her in the van, "No say Josh," meaning "Don't tell Josh!"

Then when Daddy got home, she told everyone, "No tell Daddy". She didn't want her surprise spoiled!

She is a proud little girl and we are so proud of her!
