takin' it to the streets

Last year, Kate would not ride her bike because it meant she had to wear a helmet. This year...totally different story. She could not wait to ride her bike. We picked out a new helmet (Princesses), added a basket (for Ducky), and she was ready! I don't remember learning to ride a bike with training wheels, but I doubt it was as easy for me as it seems to be for Kate. She was ready for this!

After a few cruises in the neighbor's driveway, she took it out in the street. I did not think we would go far; short legs and all. But this kid? Yeah, she was ready to roll! We did stop a few times to pick flowers to put in the basket, but she was so darn good! We have been back to ride a couple of times since then and she keeps surprising me with the distance she is riding. Proud Mommy here!

And the 70's bangs? Just an added benefit of the helmet!
