On Sunday evening, we decided to get the kids out of the house. Even though we had a fun-filled weekend, we wanted to make sure we burned off a little energy before bed. So we hauled the bikes up to the school to get some riding practice in. We figured we just needed a big flat space.
And it worked. Maria rode her bike by herself – start to finish! time and time again! So proud of her. We’d been struggling about 4 weeks ago with starting and keeping it up for more than 10-15 feet. We hadn’t practiced in a long time but on Sunday, she didn’t hesitate – just got on her bike and went! We were all excited!
Wow, that’s a long way to go without stopping! A friend of mine posted a video very similar to this. She was even saying the same things “go, go, go….you’re doing great, keep going.” And then her daughter slammed into the basketball hoop pole! She was not injured and it was one of the most hilarious videos I’ve ever seen. But, I’m glad that did not happen to Maria.
