Her cramming did some good and now she's much more at ease with the bike. Today, even after the parade, she wanted to go, go, go on her bike -- long trips with Mommy and Daddy who accompanied her on foot (Grandpa concentrated on the shorter practices up and down the hill in front of the house).
Such activities produced a new effect for her: leg aches! She became noticeably irritated with her legs and chewed them out for slowing her down! She then insisted that they stop at a bicycle gas station which she identified and had to point out to Mommy and Daddy. After pausing there for 30 seconds, she declared the bicycle gas tank to be full and off they went again. That particular round trip was close to two miles. She did a much longer one earlier with Daddy. Good exercise for all of them.
Two weeks later, she was riding comfortably without training wheels. If there were a local parade for the 24th....
(And now I've learned to upload pictures! Getting them positioned where I want them is another issue. Anyone got any hints?)
