She is so excited!!!!......

untitled-6008Edit

We always told her once she mastered it, she would never look back... 
I don't think I have ever seen Sienna so animated as when I arrived at the cabin today.  You see she has been waiting a long time to be riding her bike with no training wheels..  Her hard work finally paid off!!!  And, as we predicted she has not looked back!  Congratulations Sienna Grace on this major milestone!!

Yay! WE know here what an accomplishment that is. Both my girls were late bloomers into the two-wheeler club. I actually have an adult friend who never learned to ride a two-wheeler. Kudos to Sienna! ~nancy

We are really trying to be next in line for no training wheels. I am going to show Claire your sweet girls success for more encouragement.

Congrats Sienna!! That's awesome!!


Diane, we were "ALMOST" there this summer, we have been practicing a lot this summer and was "almost" there, but she was still a little "unsure". So I heaped on the encouragement, even going so far as to say "she would REALLY be a BIG GIRL if she learned how to ride without "training wheels"!Thinking that "maybe" that would encourage her to get her confidence up, because she PRIDES herself on being a BIG GIRL!! So to prove that "even Mom had to "become a BIG GIRL and learn to ride too!! We were on a "roll" (literally speaking)! I brainstormed KNOWING the Olympics would have "women cyclist" and I thght it would be a great TEACHING MOMENT!! Nope!! NOT!! Thanks to the OLYMPICS that has set back progress. "Why" you ask? No, it's not that Momma got so involved in the Olympics that "she got lackluster"! Nope! Not at all. What MOM (namely ME) did was run and get Bre to come watch the women cyclist. This was the moment I was waiting for!! She comes downstairs and plants herself in front of the television. I'm smiling triumphantly and thinking I'm a GENUIS and "patting myself on the back". We watch intently w/Bre intermittenly asking questions such as "do they have training wheels" and "why they don't have a PINK bike like hers. Amongst the questions/answers all of a sudden...Wham!!Flip!!Down goes woman after woman!! As I stare in disbelief, she brings me back to the present and pipes up "She turns to me and proudly exclaims...See! They should have kept their TRAINING WHEELS on!! (Sighhhhhh) back to square one!!
