Ride, Hannah, Ride

Hannah finally learned how to ride her big girl bike this weekend.

A little over a month ago she finally got the hang of pedaling her tricycle.  At that time she was not interested at all in riding this bike.  She liked to sit on it and ding the bell but once it actually started moving she was done. 

The neighbor's grandson, Brody, came over this weekend.  He is a little younger than Hannah but has the courage of an 18 yr old.  He was riding a boy version of this bike and once Hannah saw that she wanted to get in on the party.  She got up on the bike and with a few small pushes got the bike to go.

Within about 10 minutes she had figured out how to start the bike herself and how to stop using the pedals as brakes.  We went and picked out a helmet and now we are spending lots of time out in the driveway.

"Look at me mommy, I'm riding!"
