Jane Rides a bike!

As soon as it was warm enough, Jane was outside riding her bike every day all day! I noticed she could balance well enough, and I asked if she wanted me to take off her training wheels, she got really nervous and told me I could when she was 5 years old! I may have gotten a little stubborn because I knew she could ride without them. So I just took them off. She. had. a. fit. I tried to talk her into it, I tried bribing with a piece of gum (because that is usually magic), but she still wouldn't get on the bike. Finally, I took her to the store and let her pick out a basket and a bell and told her I would put it on her bike if she could ride it without the training wheels.

That worked!
