Lydia has surprised all of us with her bike riding skills.  For awhile she was terrified to have her training wheels off and one day she asked if she could ride the neighbor boy's bike which did not have training wheels.  She got on and after Ruby held the seat for about 50 feet, she let go and Lydia was off and going alone.  She never looked back.  Since that day she has spent almost every waking hour riding her bike.  She tries to copy all of the tricks the neighbor kids do and has personalized them by naming each one.

She can ride one-handed, standing up, standing on her bar, side saddle, in the dirt and grass, in the "butterfly" position, and nutbar down ... not sure what that means.  She is also obsessed with riding up to "Bluffstreet" (Bluffview Townhomes) and back.  Way to go Lydia.
