"Look Mom! No training wheels!"

She's been ready for a month, but today we finally took those babies off. She complained, she whined, but she got on.
"Daddy, DON'T LET GO."
And he stood by her, hunched over, running along, holding on for her dear life and elbow skin.
And when she stopped, she forgot that the training wheels were gone, and she fell over.
And cried at her slightly skinned elbow. And through the tears, as the bike was hoisted into the back of the car she yelled out, "No! I want to go again!"
