A big moment

Owen finally got it. The bike we got him for his birthday was way too big, so we'll give it to him for his 5th birthday. I went out and bought some really cheap bikes for Owen and Olivia the other day. The first day or two they really wanted the training wheels on, but I said no. Then they wanted the pedals off. I reluctantly agreed, and Owen finally worked up the courage to try the pedals, and he got it after about 10 seconds. Olivia, not so much, but hopefully soon. (She only pedals about 3/4 of the way around and then starts pedaling backwards, which stops her immediately.) But she still likes the strider.
