Libbie's serious skills

I just have to brag up our little girl again. Last night before the dance recital she says "Mom, I need to take off my training wheels so I can ride a 2 wheeler" My thoughts are....Oh my goodness, I do NOT want to teach you to ride a two wheeler yet. But she insisted so her father took them off. We tried a few times last night and had a bit of success.

Today, with the lucky sun shining, she was off and running by herself. She honestly took about 2 runs with me and then she was off on her own. I don't have video -- but you can just imagine it...Libbie Lou Hoo on the Disney Princess bike, fairy helmet, knee pads, elbow pads, BMX gloves and best of all a red hot sweaty face cuz she was so determined.

By tonight she was riding all over the place. Way to go Libs!!

Big milestone! The gear helps.:) Jackson finally decided to ride this week too. I think he got sick of Jebb harassing him!
