Today, and about time, we pried Katie's training wheels off of her little Schwinn bike and set her zooming along. Enough of the telltale rattle of her training wheels--she is ready for the open road. With me running along beside her (well, waddling along at speed), she leapfrogged well ahead of the pace that Ellen set in mastering the 2-wheeler. For about 30 minutes, we trundled up and down the street until daddy needed to rest and Katie retired, proudly, into the backyard to cover herself in dirt. I would imagine that just a few more goes with either Kim or I dashing along next to her and she'll be freewheeling it alone.
And then like that *poof!*, she's gone!
