Riding a Bike

Michaela has been asking Jason to please help her learn to ride a bike without training wheels.  Finally, last week (when the weather was actually nice) he took her out. 

He helped her get on and take a few turns around with him holding on.

He had to stop and point out the basics a few times.  (like how to steer with those handles)

She took a few more spins with his help keeping her steady.

If we can figure out those pedal things anyway…

We had to take a few breaks…..for passing cars of course.

And then she was OFF!!

I love her look of concentration…

That slowly turns into a little smile…
