Please check if the dialogue below makes sense. Any sugestions are welcomed.
Two days ago my daughter gave her first pedals on her bike by herself. She still rides the bike with training wheels and before that she couldn't pedal properly. She just put her feet on the pedals and would start to cycle it backward. It seems she was just observing, collecting information and once she had all the info she needed she just did it.
The other day I called her to go to grandma's house. We went by foot, as it's only a block away. I said:"Let's walk on the sidewalk to grandma's house,ok?"
So we took off.
First, we stepped off the house on the walkways around our house. Passed through the front gate, closed and locked it. "Just on the sidewalk, ok?" I warned her. When we got to the corner of the street, right across grandma's house, I said:"Now let's wait for the cars to pass". After a few moments.."Ok, there's no more cars so we can step off the curb and cross the street to go to the other side"

Hi Paulo,
I'm just going to tell you about certain grammar points I know by heart. The rest of it can be done by a native speaker. Ok, so here are the corrections to your post:
-Sugestions (double "g" Suggestions)
-We went by foot (We always say "on foot". I went by car, motorbike, train, plane, bike, horse, etc.)
-After a few moments (I'd go for: After a few seconds)
-There's no more cars (There aren't any cars).
That was ace, mate!
Cheers!
