Maddie learns to ride

May 1st, 2010 by rbanks

Maddie took off on her bicycle this week. She used a balance bike for quite a few months, to the point where she could coast along on it for a long way with her feet off the ground. Then two goes on her new bike, without stabilizers, and she told me to “let go” and off she went.

    The balance bike really helped. Be great to hire her something when we’re over. She’d love it. Can’t wait to see you all.

    Unfortunately, Adobe Reader could not open this, so I will just imagine seeing you ride, as I was fortunate enough to see you practice riding your bike on your own driveway, during our visit in March.

    As I told your mother, on the phone, I am very proud of this accomplishment. Congratulation, Maddie!

    Love always,
    Grandmum
