Day 33

Had to get in a quick together time before Mom ran off to a meeting.  Bike/Trike ride in the dark on our street.  30 min. Took the training wheels off Hannah's bike.  Why we did that in the dark so we could not get good video of the occassion, I have no idea.  Have we broken the cardinal rule of parenting by not capturing wonderful pics of her very 1st ride without the training wheels?  Well, technically, she did try her friends' bike (Amy and Katrina) without the training wheels last June at our cabin and I do have pics.  Let's just say we have a LONG road ahead of us before she'll be able to ride the bike on her own.  There were a lot of "I can't"s from her and a lot of "don't say I can't"s from me.  I felt like I was channeling my father.  She was also optimistic, several times she was only up for a nano second, and she'd say rather proudly, "I was up for 1 second"

Speaking of bikes and the cabin, I was able to score a bike at our church's rummage sale.  We hope to get two junker bikes to store out at the cabin to make it easier to get out and excercise out there.
