these posts are exactly the reason I had my five year old girl take off her training wheels herself (with my instruction obviouisly) on Sunday.

I realize we dont all have the same up-bringing and all, but jeezoo, we fig'rd this stuff out on our own when we were 10; we just learned real quick what didnt work. I guess part of it we made do w/what we had rather than just buy new stuff when bored. (end of soapbox)

yeah, its great watching her buzzing around w/out training wheels. Her smile makes me miss my StingRay.
