New Wheels

We had to upgrade Katelyn to a bigger bike because the trike was just too small. So we headed to Walmart to see their selection. We came home with this sweet little bike, complete with princess helmet and princess bell.

We met her friend Oriah at the park one day and saw she had the same bike and helmet but a different bell. So that's how we told them apart. We had to learn how to brake the hard way after a few falls but she kept getting back on. Now she knows how to slow down when we go down a small hill.

Thank goodness we started off with a helmet, because she would have kissed the pavement a few times with her forehead had it not been there the few times she's tipped over and we don't have to fight her to wear it. We went for a long walk the other evening and she rode her bike. Daddy did have to help quite a bit with the curbs and the occasional off balance, but she did great. We walked past main street and back. Probably a good 14 blocks she pedaled. She had no trouble going to sleep that night. We've put a few miles on that bike this summer.
