We had only been in the house a couple weeks when Hannah decided she was ready to get rid of her training wheels. She mentioned it to us one day and then said it again one Wednesday afternoon. I remember that it was a Wednesday because when she said it Bert had just gotten home from work and I was about to bring them in for an early dinner before we left for church that night. As I was walking in to start dinner (frozen chicken nuggets --- our typical Wednesday night dinner) I told Bert that I definitely didn't think we needed to do that tonight since they only had like 15 minutes left outside. Bert took one look at Hannah's pleading eyes and decided he was taking the training wheels off right then. He said that since she was saying she was ready he didn't want to give her a chance to change her mind!
When I came back outside about 15 minutes later to call them in for dinner I was totally floored and shocked and SO SO proud to see her riding all over the cul-de-sac by herself with NO training wheels and without Bert holding her up. Bert said that she just took off and never looked back. Not one little bit of fear and didn't even want him to run beside her. Hannah is usually our cautious child until she warms up to something, but when she's ready then she's ready!
GO Hannah Beth!! We're so proud of you and excited for you!!
