After Avery learned how to ride her tricycle, daddy thought it was time to upgrade the girls to big girl bikes with training wheels. He went out and picked out two Barbie bikes; they must have been the best ones seeing as how the girls are not into Barbie yet. The girls were so excited when they saw their bikes. Avery picked hers first and immediately noticed the bell. The other bike didn't have a bell, I don't know why, but of course as soon as Emily saw it she asked, "Where's my bell?". So mommy had to go out and buy her a bell for her new bike, which she was really happy about. After she got her bell and we went out for our first ride, Emily noticed her bike had training wheels. She told Brian, "Look daddy, my bike has stabilizer." Not knowing what stabilizers were Brian looked at me with a confused looking face. Stabilizers, I told him, are what the British people call training wheels. Emily learned from an episode of Peppa Pig about stabilizers. She wanted to take her stabilizers off as well because in the episode Peppa Pig took her stabilizers off and she was finally able to beat her friends down the hill. We has to explain to Emily that she needed to learn how to ride with her training wheel before we take them off.
It took a little while for the girls to get used to their new bikes. After riding for a while Emily was tired and wanted to walk home. I made her realize that when she rides her bike and she gets tired she has to walk her bike back to the garage. Mom is sure not going to be walking or carrying bikes home in the middle of rides. After trying her new bike out Avery reverted back to her good old tricycle. I think daddy needs to adjust her bike because her feet barely touch the pedals.
