Taylor learns to ride a bicycle

Taylor is 5 now, and has been for about 6 months.  We heard that a 5 year old should be able to ride a bike without training wheels, but Tay has never been interested in learning.  We didn't want to force the issue, and so she's had training wheels on her bike.  We went to the park yesterday with Parker's mom, Marge, and Parker.  Marge brought her wrench, and convinced Taylor that she could ride without training wheels, "just like Parker".

Maybe having taught 4 kids how to ride without training wheels teaches you some magic tricks, but in an instant, Taylor was riding without training wheels.  Since then she has been out practicing, and now she's pretty good at it.  She can stop without crashing, start without help and ride around with no training wheels!  It's so awesome!

We also got AJ up onto a regular 2 wheel bike, bought him a helmet and got him a bike his size (Thanks again to Marge).  So amazing that they're growing so fast, and I really look forward to family bike riding trips.
