Last Thursday Shelby learned to ride her bike! She had been afraid to learn ever since we got her a big girl bike last summer. Adam did some studying up on the best way to teach a kid to learn to ride. He found out that if you take the pedals off of the bike and let the kid learn to balance by gliding, they will learn faster. I guess they feel like they can put their feet down quicker if they think they are going to fall if they don't have pedals in the way. After a few days without pedals, Shelby got the gliding down and so Adam put the pedals back on. She's riding her bike up and down the streets now! Another milestone reached. She's just too happy!
