Free as a bird

Last night Paul decided it was time. The training wheels were removed amid my timid heart. There were nerves and excitement. Up, on the seat she climbed with words of encouragement and her father at her side.And wouldn't you know- SUCCESS!!Not one fall to be had, no tears spilt- Olivia is the new family hero!!!You could see the freedom on her face, a whole new world now stretches before her without the confines of baby wheels!! She will ride, she will explore, she will feel the wind in her hair- independence never felt so sweet!

Way to go Liv! Now you can come over and teach my two youngest. The wiggles/plasma cars have been great but they've stifled the desire to ride a two-wheeler.
