She can ride a bike

OK.  So a few weekends ago Sophia came in from playing with her friends and announced that she had taught herself to ride a bike. I didn't really catch the meaning of what she was saying. It's not that I didn't believe her, it's just that it kind of went in one ear and out the other. She didn't pursue the topic with me either.

Well, the very next day both of my troops had a park clean up at one of the elementary schools close to us. Our friend, Kate, had her bike and Sophia grabbed it. A N D . . . she started to ride it!  Here she is on only her second ride of the day. I was so proud and couldn't stop smiling for a while. 

The truly amazing thing is that she taught herself. We're definitely getting her a new bike for her birthday!
