About 2 weeks ago Matt took Maryn's training wheels off. When she tried to ride it she found out that she couldn't do it so immediately told Daddy to put them back on. This didn't fly too well with Daddy. Daddy took it upon himself to try to teach Maryn. He went behind her and was holding the bike. After about a week and half of much attempts Matt went to do his own thing because Maryn wasn't responding. 15 minutes later she was able to go in a straight line for a few feet. 1 day later she could turn but only stop herself with her feet. 2 days later she could use her brakes. Just this past weekend we were watching her ride her bike and now she's riding without her feet on the pedals and riding in circles like crazy. We can't teach this kid anything...thank goodness she's capable of teaching herself. We're proud of you Maryn eventhough Mommy or Daddy can't take the credit for helping teach you to ride. Matt you get to tackle driving when she's 16!

LOL our boys were the same way. I am not looking forward to how they drive a car though, if it is anything like the way they bike. lol
That is so exciting. Ali just learned to ride a 2 wheeler and charlie wanted to jump on that band wagon, but he kept falling. He's not quite ready yet!!!!
Wow!!! It pays to have a house and not an apartment so she can have that time to teach herself! That is so AMAZING!!! Great job Maryn!!
Good job Maryn! Maybe she can show Dayah & Porter a few tricks. I have a feeling it will be a while before either rides without training wheels!
That's so cute! I am impressed at how fast she learned.
What an accomplishment! It is amazing how children teach themselves.
