Hailey is officially training wheel free! The day she got her cast off we ended up taking the training wheels off her bike. She caught on to the balanceing right away but turning was another matter. I think she was keeping her arm really stiff since she had the cast on for the last few weeks and she couldn't make the turns. The next day she got it figured out :) Brave girl. She took a few spills but kept at it. At one point I put winter boots on her to protect her legs from the pedals. That's always the worst part when they are just learning - the pedals hit their legs and it really hurts!! It took her a few more days to figure out how to start on her own - I just had to give a push to get her going. Now she is an old pro and has even learned a few tricks from Jackson. Three down, one to go! (Caleb actually just started riding without training wheels two weeks ago (mid October)) Crazy little 3 yr old!
