Riding a bicycle!

We all remember the first time we rode our bike. My first bike was yellow with a banana seat and basket on the front. Harry's was brown with a banana seat. Well Sydney has been asking to have her training wheels off for a couple of weeks now so we finally agreed she was ready. We have been out about 6 times with Mom and Dad holding on tightly to her seat with only stretches of open road but today she was going it alone. She needs help to start up but I am sure that will come soon enough. I was finally able to catch some video of this since she was able to go off more by herself today. She is truly enjoying learning to ride her bike and it is a fun process to watch! Click here to watch our girl in action.

Hooray for Sydney! She is zipping around like a real pro! Hard to believe she can even take her eyes off the road long enough to glance at the camera.
