Off the rails

We took the training wheels off Margaret's bike a couple of weeks ago. And she's actually riding without them. I believe I am the most shocked. With Andy, I made the training wheels higher and higher until they were really just for show. And then we rode around the block about 100 times before he finally consented to let me remove them. Not so for this one. I just took them off. And she tried it. Sure, she fell a few times. And, sure, she made me stop every five feet for the first two weeks, but tonight I followed on foot and she rode with help down the block. Stopped. Started again. And rode home.
