Not quite ready yet....

That would be Elisabeth doing the hurdles and Bella riding a bike without training wheels. Although I would say Elisabeth was more open to jumping that Isabella was to riding. The whole time Todd had a hold of her, she was screaming, "I'm not ready!! Put my training wheels back on!!! I'm going to fall!!! Don't let me got!!" Real relaxing. Luckily, we brought her other bike- a strider bike that Aunt Alison and Uncle Blake bought her for Christmas 2 years ago. It teaches small children how to balance and therefore transfer to a bike without training wheels easier and earlier. She actually has to work to ride it but has figured out that the sooner she can master it, the faster she gets a really gaudy hot pink/purple Barbie bike.
