Audrey's Chance to Shine
Now that Gwyneth is riding all over the place, the focus is on getting Audrey comfortable on two wheels. It can't be easy being the younger of two by only a year; peoples' expectations are high, and it's easy for everyone to forget how much younger you are. Luckily Audrey overcomes this pretty readily. She might lack in stamina, and she complains when she gets tired, but when she really wants something she figures it out.
Like with Gwyneth, we started her off with just coasting. She's tiny, though, and it's hard for her to walk with the pedals on the bike. So we removed them.
After a few trips to a local parking lot, she went from nothing to coasting downhill:
Of course, she gets tired, and frustrated, but it's best to just leave her alone and let her stew.
Eventually she's back on the bike and coasting again.
The balance is there, and she's trying to pedal without pedals, so she asked for her pedals back on again. Of course, pedals make it easier to fall...
... and hurt yourself...
But they also let you go fast and go far!
By the end of the two hours, Audrey was able to pedal pretty far by herself, and she'll be zooming along without any help just like her sister before we know it.
