Sloane has been zooming around all over the cul de sac on her balance bike for well over a year, but recently has been working hard to figure out pedals. We all have worked with her, and today, I told her to get a running start and just balance on the pedal bike. She kept trying to start pedaling from a standstill. Soren patiently circled the island with her over and over. But after an hour at it, I offered her $1 if she could circle the island twice without putting her feet down. Well of course she couldn’t do THAT without just getting a running start and trying to coast all the way around, and when she started to wobble, she decided to try out the pedals while already moving and it finally clicked! Off she went! Great job, Sloane! Best $1 ever spent. And great job Big Brother Soren for guiding and teaching her how fun it is to ride a bike!
