Laney Learns to Ride a Bike

Her friends and peers have been riding for some time. But, in just two short days of practice this weekend, Laney joined the ranks of the bicycle abled. It actually went very quick. She wouldn't stay at it for very long. But, early on Monday I could tell she was getting the hang of it. She still liked me to be there with my hand on her back. But, she was doing a lot of balancing. Before this I tried to convey to her in words how it felt to balance, that she needed to "sit" on the seat. She figured it out without my accurately verbalizing it. Kids are pretty smart that way.
