Since that day last year when we rode bikes without training wheels at the park, we haven’t really done it again. The kids have to get good at it before we can just go anywhere without the training wheels, so the wheels went back on. But last week we decided to practice without them some more.
Shelby has improved immensely since last year. This time, she was able to practice starting off by herself from standing (no parents holding on running behind!) and she was able to stop on her own instead of falling to the ground every time.
She was all smiles (and is WAY too big for this mama.)
Daddy and Coleman watched on with smiles…
And then it was Coleman’s turn.
Coleman did a great job but got frustrated a bit. He can ride fine but it’s the taking off and stopping without a fall that are challenging. He wanted to do it perfectly (or as perfectly as Shelby) from the start, and learning that some things take lots of practice is a tough lesson! But with some time he gave it another shot and rode of into the sunset…
Shelby’s soccer season is nearing the end, but we still have 3 games left! She is REALLY enjoying it, and she’s improved so much! She is a GREAT defender…she works really hard, hussles and gets right in there to the ball, keeping the ball far away from her goal!
There’s a cold front coming through today, and the Rangers are playing game 6 of the world series!
Jeff has told me the story of this picture (Ventura rushing Nolan Ryan on the mound) and a few days ago he emailed it to me. So I just had to do a little photoshop play on it and turn it into the coach of the cardinals, La Russa!
GO RANGERS!!!
