Not me - Elise! 2 weeks ago she ran a 1-mile race put on by the BYU Cross Country team. There were 15 first-grade girls who ran, and Elise came in 5th! Her time was 10:04 - I was very impressed, and she was so proud of herself! The Saturday after she and I ran 1.3 miles. She is very excited to run with me, Stephen and Uncle Brett.
Also on Saturday she decided she wanted to ride her bike without training wheels, so Stephen took them off and helped her ride. She didn't ride again until yesterday, and I helped her for about 30 seconds - she doesn't need help anymore! My little girl is growing up! She is also so proud of herself for riding alone!
Seeing her ride her 2-wheeler alone after a minimal amount of help helped me realize (again - there have been a number of examples of this) that when she wants something bad enough, and is developmentally ready, she'll pick it up with no struggle. I don't have to push anything on her at this stage. She'll do...whatever...when she's ready.
I'll post some pictures once my computer is back to normal...poor computer! It's tough being sick!
