The day Ryan and I went to see Wicked, I was upstairs getting ready and Ryan was outside playing with the girls. I looked out the window and what did I see? Emma Catherine was riding her bike without training wheels. I couldn't believe it. We have tried to get her to ride without training wheels in the past and she has wanted nothing of it. This particular day, Ryan asked her if she wanted to try and she actually said yes. I do wish I had been down there to watch her in person, but with her, you have "strike while the iron's hot."
A few days later I got her to try it with me so I could get some pictures. For the last few weeks, she has wanted us to start her off and then she would take off. Tonight she actually started it all on her own. She is riding a small bike right now, but I'm so glad because it makes her feel more in control. At times, Emma Catherine is so afraid to try new things so we are proud of her accomplishment.
