Yesterday Nate took off Allie's training wheels at her insistence. She has been asking us to take them off since last summer. Nate said she took to it like a fish to water. No wobbling! Her only probably is tending to put on the brake when she is coasting. With the training wheels her bike would skid to a stop, but with now she wobbles with the sudden lost of momentum. In under 24 hours she figuring it out.
This morning she was the first one to wake up, bright and early, so that she could get ready for school in time to ride her bike before carpool. The below-freezing temperature didn't detour her a bit. She had made several rounds in the cul-de-sac before we left for preschool. She was right back at it after school...after lunch...after nap. Her goal is to get fast enough to keep up with her friends that are a few years older when they ride to the elementary school (2 blocks away) this fall for Allie's kindergarten year.
Here's a little video clip from day #2.

WOW Allie. Way to go. Your mom is going to need to buy you a lot of new shoes, but then shoes make the best brakes. When you come to my house next time, bring your bike. Okay?
