Mark and I have been trying to get Frances comfortable on a two-wheel bike for at least two summers. No luck, whatsoever. Weeping, gnashing of teeth. It was not pretty.
Finally, we had the idea of removing her useless training wheels and her pedals, essentially creating a large balance bike. She pushed herself around with her feet for two weeks, and voila!
We were actually in a bike shop for exciting reasons unrelated to Frances. Frances jumped on a two-wheel bike and started riding like it was no big deal.
Major coup.
Next up is Chandler on a two-wheeler. I'm planning on that going much more smoothly, now that we're getting so good at this parenting thing.
