New Bike

A few months ago I posted pics of B trying to teach P how to ride her bike.  It was difficult because the bike was really too small.  We had gotten it a few years ago and she had simply outgrown it.  So today, B and I picked up a new bike for Sweet P.

I honestly think she's been dreading the whole "learning to ride a bike" thing

But her Daddy did his very best to make sure she didn't fall

For much of the time I let Zach take pictures while I ran next to P to give her encouragement

B and I definitely used teamwork on this one

Plus the support of lots of friends

I think she was actually starting to think it wasn't going to be too bad

 

She was totally getting the hang of it and starting to ride on her own

Zach and I switched places

and then she had a little fall.  B tried to catch her and he went down too.  Nothing major, but enough to make her want to be done.  I think I was ready for her to be done too, but B said "Get back on and lets go one more time!"  There were a few tears, but she did it...one more time and then home for a band-aid on her finger.

And as she was finishing her ride she just kept repeating "I'm freaking out, I'm freaking out, I'm freaking out!"

Oh my...I just love this little tough cookie!
and her Daddy too!
