Learning to ride....

Took the girl out yesterday to teach her to ride her bike without the training wheels on. I never imagined that it could actually be so frustrating..lol You seriously need to have a load of patience to teach a child to ride a bike that is for sure. Dave wanted to teach her to do it but I think it was me getting frustrated. She is so scared, even when she is told that she cannot fall off the bike because daddy is holding the seat.

Don't know what I expected though! It was not that she would just ride the bike first time but I did not think she would be such a chicken about it... lol We did this for awhile and then she played in the park and had ice-cream which is always fun :) The weather is really starting to turn cold. I swear I am freezing all the time, even when others are saying it is not that cold. I can just feel it in my bones and it seems to stay there. We will go back to the park another day and try again. Hopefully she gets over the fear a bit :)

Awww... One day she will suddenly zoom off.

Sorry about the cold weather. I love Florida--it's still summer here! Temperatures lately are 85F for an afternoon high, and 69F for a low at night. Perfect.

Toronto's temps are also diving down pretty fast! It was in the high 20s last weekend, and now it's going to be, like 13 today. EEK!!! And here I wanted to take the kids apple picking! We'll freeze to death!

That's great that your husband wants to teach Randie to ride without training wheels! I can't even get Jeff to "find the time" to take the training wheels off, nevermind helping out with the learning process! Ugh.

Oh question though - wouldn't it be easier to learn on pavement as opposed to grass?

(PS so happy you're blogging again!)

Oh Florida would be nice Kila :)

Hey Alissa :) It has been raining and horrible here.. but today the sun is out and its 14C which is pretty good :)

Yeah it would be easier on the pavement but it would be softer if you were to fall on the grass.. lol She wanted to go on the grass in case she fell.. she is such a little chicken.. lol
