Look Mom, No Training Wheels!

For the past few months we have been talking about how we needed to take the training wheels off Avery's bike and teach her to ride it without them.  Well, sometime in December Scott read something on the internet about a specific method for teaching kids how to ride without training wheels, so he tried it out with Avery.  Instead of running behind her and holding onto the seat, this method was to take the pedals off and let the child find their balance by gliding on the bike and then putting their feet down when needed.  I guess it worked pretty good because after a few sessions of doing that, Avery tried it with the pedals and took off on her own!  She still needs to work on turning and gaining more confidence, but I'm sure that will come with the warmer weather and more chances to practice. Way to go Avery!
