Two Wheeler!! (with training wheels!)


Sophie just got her first two wheeler this weekend for her fourth birthday and she's pretty excited about it.

Mark was putting shoes on to go outside to help her learn to ride it the first time and by the time he got out there, Sophie had already opened the garage door and taken it for a spin. Who needs Dad??

She's crashed several times, but just laughs and get's back on. She's always been pretty athletic and coordinated and it's just fun to watch her ride around and around on that bike. She sings while she rides too, which is pretty entertaining. Today she was singing about a 'princess biker' and yesterday it was, 'go faster, princess bike'. Every lap around was a new line. And periodically, she would stop and say, "Mom, Dad, thank you for the bike". Day two, and she's already doing the 'no hands' trick! And, of course, today she had to wear her new red sparkle shoes that Grandma Peggy gave her for her birthday while riding. She told me that she would be really darling cute if she rode her bike while wearing the sparkle shoes. And she was!! These are the 'pay-day' moments in parenting that make it all worth it!

Sophie what a cute bike and you are such a good rider! It will be interesting to see what Sophie does as she grows, she is so physically unafraid and agile. I would just like to wish her parents alot of luck!

Don't blink, she will be driving your car next. I can't believe how much she has grown up. She sure is a cutie.
