Training Wheels no more

It is such a strange blend of emotions...to be running alongside your first born with complete joy and excitement as well as overwhelming fear that they will take a bite out of the cement.  That is how I was feeling today as Kylee learned how to ride without her training wheels.  It was AWESOME! Kylee is not exactly our adventurous one.  She doesn't like to venture outside of her comfort zone or do things that might hurt so we were a bit surprised that she wanted to take her training wheels off but peer pressure prevailed and since her good friend Maggie took hers off Kylee decided she was ready to do the same. It didn't take long for her to get the hang of it and we had to chuckle at her mantra..."don't think about falling, don't think about falling, don't think about falling."
I remember well the days my big brother Scotty and I rode around our neighborhood.  All sunshine and freedom. When there was nothing we couldn't do which included riding with no hands...oh the fun!
Today was a big day.
