Over the weekend Emily got her first bike. She loves this thing. I took her out for a walk around the hood when we got home Saturday... it was a little drippy outside, but she was excited... and so was I a little. She has all kinds of ride on toys, some... with pedals. In my mind I felt she was too big for these toys... it was time for her big girl bike.

She is able to get on and off the bike herself without falling, and she can reach the pedals no problem. She also knows how to stop (that was one of the first lessons). While we were out walking on Saturday, it was more of me pushing her than her pedaling.

Sunday morning... we went for another walk. She musta slept on it or something because that morning... I took her bike out into the road and she tore off like a bat-outta-hell. She was so excited that she could do it all herself, so we stayed out for a few more laps... until we got cold.

Lately the weather has been so crappy that we haven't been able to go out since. I believe the Mrs. took her for a walk today so she could ride her bike. I'll have to get some pictures.
