This is such a big deal and I am beyond proud and thrilled for this Lucy girl of ours. For the past several years - Lucy has loved riding her bike with training wheels. She's done a great job and gotten really confident on it.
I hadn't ever talked to her about taking the training wheels off of her bike, but she came to me and asked if I would take her training wheels off so she could ride her bike on her own. Immediately I agreed and popped the training wheels off. After some practice, she was doing it! Riding her bike on her own!
She'd five, so it's definitely age appropriate for her, but I kept hearing words from the doctor who we saw when she was a baby echoing in my head. "Lowest end of the spectrum." "May not be able to drive or even ride a bike." This milestone was not guaranteed for us. It is a miracle that this sweet, adventurous girl feels confident enough in her body and in her vision to be able to climb onto a bike and go careening down the street. I'm so grateful and I'm so proud.
