Getting the hang of it

Resli got a bike for Christmas last year (2009!) and since then Lela's been riding the big wheels. Between Resli's relative lack of, ehem, grace and coordination, our lack of time, and the scarcity of days in which the weather is pleasant outside (either too hot or too wet or too cold), we haven't been very good at helping them practice riding...
However, over the holiday break we made a point of going out to ride every day. Lo and behold, Resli miraculously figured out the art of peddling and steering, almost at the same time! Lela still scoots along without pedals, and occasionally steers too.

This is really exciting for Resli, and she gets better each time she rides!

I know many of her friends are working on getting rid of their training wheels, but we're just thrilled to see this progress. Lela loves it too, by the way.
