We had a big day yesterday. In the morning, we set out with Rick and Tucker and without our training wheels. Then, in the afternoon, we took Henry's new bat over to the park for some BP. We have video from each outing.
We started on a gentle slope in the grass, and then once Fiona and Tucker found their footing, we went to a flat parking lot. You'll notice that Fiona had some difficulty with the stopping aspect of bicycle riding, but figured it out in the end, starting with a sick yet controlled skid. Tucker, meanwhile, appears as though he's been riding without training wheels for years. As for Henry, he found climbing on Rick's truck to be more fun than learning how to ride a bike. I think he was just saving himself for batting practice later in the day.
Henry reminds some of a young, blonde, American Joey Votto, it is said. Fiona needs a little more work to fine-tune her swing, but she proves to be remarkably fleet of foot in flip flops.

Can't believe the way he hits! Lefty! What else does he do lefty?
How about that Fiona! She can really ride now!
Henry does nothing else lefty. But he has insisted on batting lefty from the start. Not sure why, but I'm certainly not going to discourage it.
And Fiona is so very close to being a full-fledged two-wheeler. Just have to help her figure out how to get started on her own, and she'll be off to the races.
