So, November 3, 2018… we took The Awesome and her bike to the school pavilion and… she did it! A lot of anxiety leading up to the moment and a lot of pouting – her way of trying to avoid doing it.
But then, she did it.
And then, she didn’t.
My wife and I recorded the moment for her to see. Then, after successfully riding the bike about 40 feet, she no longer would. We were really confused.
Apparently, the act of balancing the bicycle by herself gave her such an odd feeling of not being in control that she refuses to do it again. We’ve tried several times since then, but nope.
At this point, we know she can do it. Question is, when will she give it another try and let the magic happen.
I suppose it’s on her timeline, not ours.
