It's Like Riding a Bike

A few weeks ago, I decided that it was time for Serena to ride her bike without training wheels. And when I make firm decisions like this, I do not back down until Joshua carries them out :). He has been a great teacher! This is Serena's 3rd bike lesson and we think she's doing really well. It's mostly a head game for our first born, so you will be able to tell from my (terribly obnoxious I'm only yelling because she's on the other side of the infield) narration that an allusion to The Little Engine That Could may have been employed. It seemed to work for Serena, and she even said to me at one point, "I'm just going to say in my head, 'I think I can.'" Of course, later, after she tipped going over a bump she said, "I was saying 'I think I can' but I CAN'T!" Here's some footage...
