Patience is a virtue

Yes, we know it's a boy's bike, but it was free!
After her first attempt.....

Trying again....

Daddy holding on tight.....

She did it!

Today Payton tried her hand-me-down bike out for the first time. Didn't....go.....so....well! She fell on her first try (daddy quickly learned to keep his hands ON her while she tried to pedal), cried and said - through a river of tears - "I'm done. I don't want to try anymore!" As seen in the picture above, she clearly was traumatized by the situation, but we made her get up on there and try again. She did and it was a success......for the whole 3 minutes she tried! Then, she was officially done - until next time :)
