Riding Solo

Amelia is a cautious child. Not a risk taker like her brother Phillip. She was very hesitant to try biking without training wheels last summer. Thursday we watched a video of her cousin Lia biking around for the first time with no training wheels. She took a deep breath and then said she was ready to give it a try. Justin helped her bike around the block once...then she was off on her own. All it took was a little confidence and strong pedaling. I love the photos of her sticking out her tongue with concentration. Phillip is very excited to learn now. He wants a bike with a rack for Cager (his monkey) to ride on. We are soooooo proud of Amelia for taking the risk and being brave.
