she's got a ticket to ride

For Emma's present from Steve and me we decided to get her a little tricycle because she's always sitting on Abi's bike pretending to ride it.

So on the night of her birthday we took the girls and their bikes up to a little courtyard out back so they could both learn to ride their bikes.  Abi's had hers for about a year, but she has really struggled with the pedaling.  Well, on this particular night as soon as she hopped on her bike she took off-and never looked back!  She did such a great job and even got the steering/pedaling at the same time down.
Emma wasn't quite as thrilled to ride her bike, but hopefully she'll get it down soon-we have ALL summer to practice.

Parker has a trike too , but can't pedal. He just pushes his feet on the ground. Glad you guys are doing well. I can't believe how big Emma looks!

Oh Emma has just grown up too quickly!! Those pig tails are too cute. yeah...Stella had a hard time with her tricycle until just recently. Now she has to "drive" it almost every day.
