Two of the reasons the Ziemkes came were to help cure the winter blues we’ve been having and to teach Noelle how to ride a bike!  We are not the least bit shy to say Noelle hadn’t learned to ride a bike until this point.  We knew she could do it, but she wouldn’t even try because she was absolutely terrified at the thought of falling.  If something fun stresses a kid out, to us, it ruins the experience and simply isn’t worth it.  So, we waited until she was mentally ready to face this challenge.  It took all of about 20 minutes using the Ziemke belt method, and she was officially riding her bike solo! 

 

  

 

 

And she’s off!  Isn’t life such a ride!?!  Go Noelle!
