Dyllis is on two wheels!

It all started two Sundays ago (18th May 2008), when Dyllis heard that Evan's classmate just learnt how to ride a bicycle without the training wheels.

Dyllis told me that she would like to try doing so too. So, we had the training wheels removed last week, and Dyllis struggled with it, with me holding her from behind.

Today, we decided to give it a try again (the second time since the training wheels were removed). It was tiring, not for Dyllis, but for me ! She managed to balance better, but refused to let me let go of my hands. And the 'break' came, when we stopped by an uncle (a staff from Windsor Place) - he was delivering bottled water to houses, and I asked how should I teach my kid how to ride a bike.

The answer : Leave her alone, let her try it out, one leg at a time, step by step, she'll get it.....and the message was like an "emperor's cree"...after hearing what the uncle said, my girl went off without me holding her, determined to try it out on her own ! And within minutes, she succeeded ! Well done DD Girl!




One down...one more to go...little Evan agreed to try when he turns 4 in a few months' time :)
