2nd Try Get Better.


Ya we'd done it again, but this time thanks to the present of mummy, Gracia finally sits pretty steady on the baby seats while daddy ride with her. You should guess that she's still getting kind of phobia after the first incident. But realizing her insecurity from her last experience, daddy learn to put her in the baby seats but not peddle immediately first. I pushed the bicycle slowly instead and asked mummy to be in front or beside us and keep calling out her name to let her feel more calm. Indeed, mummy's effort prove to be very effective. After seeing her being more steady, daddy gets on the bike and starts peddling slowly but increasing the speed gradually.

The final conclusion, it's the 2ND ride of Gracia's life but the first to be consider successful. A day to be remember.

Hi Paul,

You are so adventurous! Will Gracia fidget or struggle to come out while you cycle? Do you have to hold on to her too?

Yo Joan, no she will not fidget nor struggle, the first time she just cry and cry and cry even before i really start peddelling. But the 2nd try we did together with Lina around, she'll call out her name once in a while to distract her from fear and it works...

Yes, for security and safty purpose, i cycle with one hand on the bicycle handle and the other hand holding and wraping around her arm. You gotta have some skill and steadiness cycling with one hand though...
