Soleil Learns to Ride Bike

Soleil and Her Pal Lyric

Jesse really took off on the bike riding about a week-and-a-half ago.  His example on this really encouraged Soleil to do the same.  She is someone who, when faced with a challenge that she wants to conquer, just needs to receive a little reign be left to herself.  Seeing Jesse have so much fun, she got on her bike, which still had training wheels, and begin working on learning to ride better.  In two days, she met me at the door as I returned home from work and proclaimed that she was ready to have me take her training wheels off as she thought she could ride without them.  We got the wrenches out, quickly took the training wheels off, and she never looked back.  She was a little wobbly that night, but continued to work on it, and is now pretty darn good.  She and Jesse have both made major strides on the bike riding this week, and before about ten days ago, he'd only get on his scooter.  Now, though, you can't get him off the bike.
