We have been trying to teach Olivia to ride a bike for quite some time now with no luck. Since we live on the Katy Trail we would love for everyone in our family to be able to ride. We have tried everything! Aaron's Dad who is an avid cyclist even bought us this contraption that mounts on her bike and we stand behind her to keep the bike steady when she rides. It has a release button to let go when she starts riding by herself...needless to say, we have never released her. She has even fallen off the bike several times while we are holding her! :) Last year, Aaron's Dad was practicing with her when she suddenly fell off and as her head was getting dangerously close to the ground she quickly exclaimed "Papa, look at all of the ants!" It was then decided that she wasn't really interested!
So I am not sure what made Aaron drag the bike out of the garage the other night but it was the lucky night! She was focused and ready to learn. Within just a couple of minutes she was riding her bike all by herself. And now we are having a hard time getting her off her bike. :) Here are a few pics of the special night.

Olivia, her proud sisters and her "husband" (as she likes to call him) Sonny too.

I had a minor heart attack when she came VERY close to a mailbox...good thing Daddy is fast on his feet!
