[blparent] Big Girl Bike

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

Hi.  For those of you with older kids, when did they start riding a two-wheeled bike with training wheels?  Sarah got a Dora tricycle for her birthday, and she's happy with that for now, but we were given a two-wheeler from someone at church.  Another girl in the neighborhood has a two-wheeler, and she's about six months older than Sarah, but she was riding it last summer.  Am I being overprotective to think I should keep the two-wheeled bike in the garage for another year?
