Kerstin reached another mile stone today: no more training wheels. We have tried a couple of times this summer without success. She didn't really even want to try today, but we "convinced" her to. Her mom had to hold her up the first couple of attempts, then dad took over. After five feet of holding on to her, he let go and Kerstin didn't even realize it. For about 30 yards all Kerstin could say was, "I can't do it, I can't do it." Her dad who was walking three feet to her side finally said, "But you are doing it." After that there was no stopping her. (Except for one minor crash.) We can finally get rid of her junky little "training" bike and she can ride her new bike full time now.

Congratulations, Kerstin! That is so cool you can ride your bike without training wheels! I remember when I learned how to ride without training wheels. I was about your age! It's a neat thing! Have fun!

Yay Kerstin!!! Now you can work on keeping up with McKensey, and then you'll be ready to ride the trails with Adrienne and Eliot!! Last year they worked up to riding to Star City Shores by themselves. So while Elise was taking her nap, they could go to the pool and I didn't have to be in two places at once. This year they can ride to Culvers on 14th and Old Cheney for ice cream- yum! Of course, you and McKensey probably have a couple of years before mom will let you do that :)
Hugs and prayers-

Yea, Kerstin!!!! That summer between kindergarten and first grade is the year for a lot of kids. Tbat's when Hannah learned to ride without training wheels. You go girl--you are awesome!!!
Hi, Kerstin, It looks like you are having a great summer. I know you have also been helping your mom because I saw you at school the other day when I was working there. (Is she getting her moving done? I hope she isn't making you work too hard!) Keep having fun times. I like looking at the photos to see what you have been doing.
