Look, Mommy! No Pedals!

One of my goals for the summer is to teach the girls how to ride their bikes without training wheels.  We have some friends who told us about balance bikes.  Basically, it's a bike without pedals.  Kids learn to balance on these bikes, then they are able to learn to ride with pedals much easier because they just have to put the pedaling with the balancing.  So, we decided to take the pedals and training wheels off the girls' current bikes and turn them into balance bikes.  Daddy did this job while Mommy was out shopping at a few garage sales.  Ella and Emma were already figuring out how to balance by the time Mommy got home.  So, we loaded up in Daddy's truck, and went to the office to practice, where they would have a little more room to go straight.  Our girls are growing and learning more and more each day!  (Emma- blue helmet, Ella- pink helmet)
 Ouch!  The screwdriver slipped:
