Way to go Katie!

The last week our conversations with Katie have pretty much gone like this:
Us: Katie, are you ready to try riding your bike again?
Katie: NO
Us: why not?
Katie: I'm too scared
Us: scared of what?
Katie: of falling!
Us: when are you going to try again?
Katie: next year!

So we weren't going to give up so easy. Friday night (after all the horrible winds finally died down) Brielle immediately wanted to ride her bike so Greg started trying to get Katie to give it another try. He told her he would not let her fall, but she was still worried. Greg had to promise her he would eat raw eggs, dog food, hair, toothpaste, and dog poop if he let her fall and she FINALLY agreed!

Greg ran behind her bike all the way down the road barely holding on to her and when she finally realized she was pretty much doing it without him she decided it wasn't too bad. She then wanted to ride back to the house by herself! She finally gained the confidence she needed and she took off. She wanted to keep riding until it was getting so dark outside we had to come in.

Then today(Sunday) we took the bike to Greg's parents and she was like an old pro riding around in circles, starting on her own... YAY!! I can't even tell you how happy I am. I'm so excited for her!! The summer will be so fun, I can't wait to go on a bike ride as a family!
