Yeah! No training wheels.

My goal was to have Macey riding her bike by summer without training wheels. I took them off a while ago, but she wasn't interested in riding, plus I don't like to 'play' outside until we have warm weather...then we practically live outside, except to eat, sleep and poop! Ha! Well last night she did it. She did not want my help at all. A neighbor of ours loaned us this bar that you attach to the back of the bike so you don't have to bend down to hold onto the seat...it was a back saver. She has the riding part down, and is pretty good at stopping on her own, but she still needs help taking off. I think within a week she won't need me at all. I told her she will be able to go on long bike rides with me while I run like I did with my mom. I am so proud of my 4 1/2 year old!!! Hopefully you can see the video below. There is also a video of her at swim lessons. She is swimming great, but it was hard to get good video. She has had Mr. Mike as her instructor the past few sessions; she adores him, she used to tell me he is her boyfriend! She is in a green swimsuit with purple goggles. There should be 3 videos below, this is my first time to post videos so hopefully it works.
