Dave helped her practice later that day. She was so, so, so excited...overly confident...and wasn't scared one bit. I took some video clips with my camera. She went from riding shakily with him holding the seat the entire time to her riding independently and stopping by herself in an hour. She can't start herself yet, and is working on controlling the braking and handling herself when she tips to the side, but she made more progress than I thought she would. I need to give her more credit than I do!
First attempt:
This clip is tonight's last run after her second practicing session. I missed her excited arm pumping cheer at the end of the video clip. Daddy is a good coach! The kids thought it was pretty funny he was sweaty after all that jogging along side her.
This blog is a treat to read!
