She refused to ride her bike almost 2 years (Fall 2005). She had a very BAD fall with her bike. She refused ride her bike ever since. She wanted Hot Wheel Barbie so we decided to get her one.
Today, we went to playground. Mikaela's friend A came with her bike. Mikaela said she wanted to ride hot wheel. I told her that I'm not going to walk with you with your hot wheel to A's house. I suggested her to take her bike. She said, "I'm afraid that I will fall again." I told her, "Honey, I know you do still have a small fear but I think you're ready and I will be right beside you." She said, "Okay." She hopped in and riding her bike. I jogged by her (out of breath -- oh boy...) she said stop stop so I grabbed her bike. She said, "I'm not afraid... I'm having fun!!!" That when I teach her how to brake the bike. She did an outstanding job.
Mikaela asked me what am I doing. I explained what I'm doing... She reminded me that she did fell once. When she tried to get into curb to driveway. She said, "I will ride my bike again tomorrow!"
yea!!!

NICE !!!!
Isn't she using training wheels ?
I'm so glad that she tried it again. That is really brave.
Syd gets a bike from the binky fairy when she gives her last binky up. We are close.
I keep saying that she will go straight from a binky to a ten speed the way we are going :) ha ha
Way to go Mikaela!
