Big Girl Bike

We have some really kind friends who gave us their daughter's bike. Rachel seemed to know that the bike would be fun before she even tried it out. Not sure how that happens, but kids often "just know" when something will be good. I mean, she was happy to try ice cream or brownies but put some casserole in front of her (filled w/ things that she has liked) and you'd think we had concocted a slow form of torture for her.
Anywho, Ben patiently helps her learn how to steer and pedal. Unfortunately, she finds it funny to "Cuh-rasssshhhhhh!" (her precise words) into the side of the road.....which doesn't really make her that eager to learn how to steer. Plus, Rachel has mastered the art of letting Mommy and Daddy do things for her....especially her Daddy - he's a little wrapped:-)
