Biking & Swimming

Nyla's never really been into riding her bike before, but we had a breakthrough the other day. We thought that maybe she wasn't that into riding her bike because our neighborhood is hilly. So we took her and her bike to a nearby, very flat park, and she rode for about half an hour straight (breaking her previous record of two minutes). And now, she rides her bike around the neighborhood too. I think she just needed the confidence that she could ride her bike, to be willing to push hard to get it up the little hills rather than just give up and assume she can't do it. Here she is on her bike:

Also, Nyla just got done with her swimming lessons, and has tremendously developed her swimming ability in the past two weeks. Her instructor said she did very well and recommended that she move up to Level 3 if she takes lessons again. Her favorite stroke seems to be the backstroke, because she doesn't have to worry about getting water up her nose. Unfortunately, it isn't really practical to take a camera to the pool, so no action shots of her swimming.
