All of you who know Kara know that she is a very determined little girl. She has been begging us for a few weeks to take her training wheels off her bike. Barry and I have delayed it because we didn't want to deal with all the bumps and falls that happen when learning to ride a bike. We both thought that next Spring would be the perfect time for that. Kara didn't think so! She found a wrench on Friday and brought it to me to take the training wheels off. Barry got home at about that time and helped her get them off. He then explained to Kara that she was going to fall down a lot and it would be a lot of work and it might take a few days before she would be able to ride it on her own. He then ran behind her for about five minutes and then got a little winded so he needed a break. Kara asked me to help her, but I needed to talk to Barry, so I put her off for a few minutes. As Barry and I were talking she was trying it on her own. All of the sudden she shot past us riding her bike ALL BY HERSELF! We were shocked, and she was so proud of herself. She kept telling me that she knew how to ride a bike, but all of her friends couldn't.
She was so excited to go ride her bike yesterday that she got up and went right to her chores and had all of them completed before Tanner even began his. She was out riding her bike, and later Barry took her to the elementary school so she could ride on the playground. Today she found out that she can even ride Tanner's bike! She has improved a ton since these videos were taken on Friday.
