New Bike

Madelyn got a new Mini Glider (aka balance bike) this past week.  Bill has always wanted to get Madelyn a balance bike instead of your typical bike with training wheels.  He has read and heard that it's a lot easier for kids to learn how to balance on two wheels with the balance bike.  We were going to wait until Madelyn's birthday but figured we might as well get it this summer so she can practice.  It took a little while for Madelyn to warm up to her new bike but after a little bit of practice, she has started to toddle around on it.  Bill's determined to get Madelyn riding on two wheels by the end of the summer so we'll see.  It will be fun to watch her progress.  The bike is pink and we may add a little princess basket or horn to make it a little more fancy. Take a look at Madelyn's socks and shoes in the picture.  She was very proud of her outfit!
