Riding Wheelies

I let you all know that Nancy learned how to ride her bike without training wheels. Today she was attempting "wheelies." She was pretty pumped because of her success. Please notice what our family would call the bee-bop. That's her wheelie. (Upon her request she saw this video. She looked a bit surprised. I'm guessing the truth that the wheel didn't leave the ground hurt a little bit.)

Whether the wheel left the ground or nor, Nancy is a good bike rider - amazing progress!

She's growing up so fast! She'll be driving before you know it.

Tell her she's got the basics down. She just needs to lend back a bit to put her weight on the back wheel when she's pulling it. She's got the rest of it perfectly. Before long she'll be doing a whole sort of tricks like doing "no feet" riding or standing while biking or one of my old kid favorite... "no hands". My brother could actually turn a complete 360 degrees on his seat with out the bike loosing balance. Tell her to keep up the great work.

p.s. Lauren Smith was baptized last wednesday (10/22). I'm sure you've already heard the news though. We're so blessed to have another sister.
