Training Wheels

I took the training wheels off for my youngest child last night. I had loosened them so there was a lot of room for her to lean the bike without the training wheels hitting the ground and after riding around for a while, it was obvious she didn't need them at all. She was really proud of herself!

Milestones like this make me think I must be getting old. Thankfully I don't feel old. It was great to see her feeling so liberated and empowered! Our family discovered a new set of dirt trails a couple weeks ago; now that #4 is off training wheels, I think we'll have to tackle it again.

Having a family is such an adventure ... and so much fun.
