Sweet Surprise

Megan wanted to share a sweet surprise today. Here it is in her own words.

I surprised Daddy by asking him if he could teach me how to ride my bike. And I surprised him by showing him how good I was doing on riding my bike.

The girls and Mark taught me how to ride my bike without training wheels. We have been practicing a few weeks sneakily with out Daddy knowing. I wanted to surprise him. I surprised him a lot!

He was like “how do you do it so well without practicing?”

It was hard to learn to ride. I was scared of falling and I wanted my sister to always hold me.  Sometimes they would let go and I would fall. Then I wanted to stop! They would make me get on my bike and try again. I would pedal and steer and my legs got stronger and I got better.  Yesterday I could ride just a tiny tiny bit without help.  Today, I did very very good. I could even ride down the hill.

When I learned how, everybody rode their bikes with me to celebrate!

It has been very sweet watching the kids work together to teach Megan. I know that she will still “hitch” rides with them on their bikes, because they can go so much faster, but I love that they all worked together to encourage and help her learn.
