Lauren has been asking for a bike for a few weeks now so I got on craigslist and wha la- $15 later she has a new bike! She was so excited to try it out.
It was quite a learning experience for all of us watching her learn. We discovered our little darling has quite the temper! She wanted to pedal so bad but kept pushing with both feet at the same time. Once she finally figured out how to pedal she'd steer it straight into a wall. At one point, she turned the bike upside down and started hitting it, only to start crying hysterically because she hurt her hand! Felt bad for the poor thing but had to laugh a little too.
Turns out helping her ride is the best way to go for now. She is one determined little thing though, and kept trying all day. I have no doubt she'll be riding to work with Uncle Ryan and Daddy (maybe even Aunt Megan!) some day!

Lauren looks like such a big girl in these pics! I can't believe she is 2! Time sure flies. And I can't believe Ben will be here any day now! :)
Hey Lauren, that peddling thing is too hard, just walk like I do, or let your parents push you around. That's more fun anyways!! ~Wyatt
I think having help is better for your walls huh? So funny that she was pedaling with both feet at the same time and getting frustrated. craigslist queen, keep your eye out for a nice wood high chair.
Hope is the EXACT same way on her bike. Does both the pedals at the same time and she gets SO MAD!!! Funny stuff.
She looks so, so proud. I tried to get her to ride Hadley's fancy UW trike on Monday and she said "no, too hard". Hope she's not going to be a quitter like little Hads:).
Megs, maybe she meant that she hates UW and is really a Coug at heart... it would make perfect sense.
