AND she's off!!!


On her birthday in December, MWC decided she was ready to take her training wheels off and learn to ride her bike~~her Daddy and I were not so ready. :) But since it has warmed up she asked again when riding her bike. So off they came!!
















She did really well the first time she tried! She was even able ride without RDC holding onto her some. (Daddy got a good work out running beside her. :) ) Unfortunately, at one point after he let go, she ran into a mailbox. :( That was the end of day one. After that, we just tried to get her out there a little bit each day. By the 4th day she tried~~she got it!! :) She still gets nervous when realizing she is doing it alone, but can get her balance on her own. We still need to practice turning and catching herself when she stops but we are VERY proud of her hard work!! :)
And she is VERY EXCITED!!! **and yes~~I teared up a little. ;)
