Lily finally learned how to ride her two-wheel bike last night! I was so proud.
The process of getting to this point hadn't been pretty. Lily did very well on her balance bike and she did very well on the trail-a-bike, but then one day when trying her balance bike, she fell off the bike and scraped herself up. So needless to say getting her back on the bike took some effort! We had to bribe her! A few weeks ago we were out purchasing some shoes for Ashton at the local consignment shop and she saw a dress she wanted. I told her I would buy it for her and she could have it when she learned how to ride her bike. So at least that got her back on the bike.
On our first "re-try" outing she managed to use her two-wheeled bike as a balance bike. On last night's outing, I told her she had to get her feet on the pedals. Finally, after several attempts, she was successful! We still have to practice a bit more to build up her confidence, but I think overall she's got it! Hurray!
