Boo did it! She got the hang of the bicycle without training wheels! And of course, Murphy's law applied, and while both LOML and I had independently contemplated bringing along a camera, we both independently decided not to do so.
Anyway, we had the inspiration of telling her that when she feels the bicycle to begin to tilt in one direction she should turn gently in that direction: those words were the key: instantly, it seemed, her body got it, and she was off riding: going for forty or fifty feet without stopping, actually really cycling!
She's going to be unstoppable now....
Yours, unstoppable in praise of her,
N.

congratulations to Boo...you must be so proud of her!
Indeed I am --- but I suspect I'll be just as proud of Skibo in a few weeks or less: he's ready to take that step too (inspired, of course, by his older sister: anything she can do he wants to do too!)

Happy days - that is one of the parental memories that always stays with you.
