Bike Riding

The neighbors gave Railey a bike a couple weeks ago. She was ecstatic! First off it was pink, then there were princesses on it and all of that topped off with the fact that it was hers. Only problem we had to hold her up everywhere she went because there were no training wheels, so that problem was quickly solved with a trip to Wal-Mart. She has never ridden anything or had to peddle anything, let along steer while pedaling and we knew that would be an issue since it was for the boys. So as soon as we flipped the bike over after putting the training wheels on, Steve turned to Railey and said "Let me put the tools away and then I will help you." He walked 4 ft over to his tool box and when he turned around she was in the middle of the road pedaling away. She needed no help! WHAT! Every kid needs help knowing how to ride a bike, but not Railey! She is out there constantly riding and just loves it. She's actually good enough that I think I will take one of the training wheels of this week and see how that goes for a week or so before taking them both off. She's amazing. Go Railey-- except not out of the cul-de-sac!
