She's a bike rider....FINALLY!!!

A has never had a desire to learn to ride a bike. We have attempted numerous times, and she was terrified! She has a Barbie scooter that she has been perfectly content to ride around the neighborhood. Finally, we decided we were doing our daughter an injustice by not making her learn to ride (she is almost 9 years old!)...so after a couple of crying, slobbering, snotting evenings of Daddy making her do it, she is now a bike rider....AND LOVING IT! I was totally convinced that the neighbors were going to call DHS on us those evenings...A was totally overreacting and causing quite a loud scene, begging Daddy not to make her do it! But no DHS workers have shown up at the door, so I guess we are safe!
