McKinna has wanted to ride her bike without training wheels for over a year. She begged us to take them off, and we warned her...once they are off they stay off. Of course, once we took them off she begged us to put them back on. We wouldn't because she was fully capable of riding her bike, but she was just too scared.
Well, her little neighbor buddy came out and started riding her bike around. McKinna walked over picked up her bike and started trying, all by herself. Evertime she started to get frustrated a neighbor would come out and cheer her on. She would get her determination back and start again. She even took a couple of spills, and has some scraped up knees, but she comes home from school everyday and rides away. We are so proud of her. We knew she could do it! Way to go McKinna!
Now Bodin wants his traing wheels off!

Way to go McKinna! Elle just learned last month too! These stubborn girls just have to learn at their own pace, huh? Thank goodness for good neighbors cheering her on!
Nice helmet!!!!!!! LOL. I think Ben should be wearing one while teaching her how to ride a bike. Did you give her the same class you had to take to ride for the SO? LOL Sherman
