Maya's On Two Wheels!
















The training wheels are gone!
It all started last week on the way back from the park. I noticed that one of Maya's training wheels was completely bent out of place. She decided to leave the bent wheel "as is" to work on balancing her bike with only one training wheel in place.

Today, I slightly heightened the "good" training wheel, and within no time, Maya was riding around the block barely touching either training wheel.

After dinner tonight, I talked her into taking the bent trainer off. Withing 15 minutes, she also agreed to take the other training wheel off.

Out girl is a bicycle machine. By bedtime she was already starting the bike on her own, turning around in the driveway, cutting corners through grass, and stopping without falling. She can't wait to wake up tomorrow for a full day on "two wheels".

Just before going to sleep tonight, she said "I'm so tired. I'm just crashed after all that bike riding!"

Congrats to our favorite girl...we're so proud of you!
