Kaitlyn can do it

We have enjoyed really good weather here last week, and all the kids have been spending alot of time playing outside. Each time we got out Kaitlyns bike for her to ride she would ask us to take off her training wheels as to which we would reply "maybe later" We have taken off the training wheels before, and when Kaitlyn realized it wasn't as easy as the big kids make it look we ended up putting the training wheels back on. So we were a little reluctant to take them off again. But after 4 days of asking, I finally caved. I tried to get them off, and couldn't so when Greg came home for lunch he reluctantly took them off while giving the "I am not putting these back on" speech once again. So as Greg pulled out of the driveway to head back to work I helped Kaitlyn down the driveway holding on to her seat. When we hit the road she practically took off by herself. I ran behind her just laughing. Greg saw all this, stopped, and got out to watch. Needless to say she surprised us both. By the time the kids got home from school she was cruising up and down the street and even headed around the block by herself. Though she has a hard time starting and needs a little help with this, I am actually really impressed with her bike riding skills.
