It did not take long for Maya to migrate from the back deck to the street out front on her bike. In terms of trying things new, she has a little more of a thrill gene than many of her Delp counterparts. With the lone exception of being able to stop (something that is pretty vital in the grand scheme of things) Maya did great on her bike. When I tried to teach her how to stop, I would say "peddle backwards" or "peddle the other way" and she would just turn her bike around. Smart move on her part, but not really what I was going for!
I do believe that Sam and Maya are going to have many great adventures on their bikes together. As their age difference becomes less and less significant, it is beautiful to watch their friendship and fondness for each other grow. I think Sam was just as happy for Maya to have a bike as any of us were!
I like this next picture because I love the idea of training Sam and Maya to one day go beyond this stop sign! There is a huge world out there for them and it is an exciting thing as a parent to prepare your child for it. I often wonder what this world will hold for them and what they will become and I am excited to see what that is!
Here is our very proud new bike rider Maya! We like to say: "you never know what you are going to get with Maya." But the truth is, she has brings an amazing amount of joy, laughter, creativity, and spontaneity to the Delp family (with a little bit of sass to go with it also)! We love you Maya!
