Paige can now officially ride a bike. I had noticed this summer that quite often she was balancing on her bike and didn't know it. She relied on the training wheels, but I was pretty sure if she tried she could ride her bike. Her training wheels would occasionally flip up when she would go over a big bump and she would tip over. On this day her wheel had flipped up and we fixed it. It flipped up a second time and she sat there for a second and came up with a grand idea, "Why don't I just balance?" We agreed that was a great idea. She rode around like that with one side flipped up for about 5-10 minutes and then asked us to take her training wheels off. Within another ten minutes she was riding her bike. It's a cherished moment for a parent.
Paige loves to ride around the block with dad.

Paige and Preston ride around on their bikes pretty much every evening and quite often are joined by a few neighbor kids. They have a great time. Preston refuses to use the pedals. He pushes with his feet and can go very fast that way. We think it's funny.

Wow! That is so nice that she can ride her bike so well now! That's quite a nice experience. Ours has been a fight with every kid - getting them to ride a bike with no training wheels. I'm happy for her and for you that she can do that. She looks so grown up on her big girl bike.
