Actually, two sets of wheels... last week, Alli got a two-wheeler bike with training wheels (the bike was a super craigslist deal). The day we got it, she practiced riding on the patio while I made dinner. After dinner, Andy and I took the girls to the park so Alli could try her new bike. It was already dark, but she was so excited for her first big-girl-bike ride. She strapped on her helmet and sat on the bike, not quite sure how to get it to move forward.
Alli learned to pedal forward. She hasn't mastered stopping yet. She rode off of the sidewalk a couple of times. And the training wheels weren't attached securely enough, so Alli took a couple of spills.
Ruby chased Alli and was chased by Alli, and she enjoyed both.
The ride was short as it was nearly bedtime. Alli was sad to put her bike away for the night, and extra sad that she had to go to bed.
Alli has a week of bike experience under her belt now. She can move fast, and now she can stop her bike too. Always good to know.
