Karina unleashed!

Karina officially did it today... she told me on the way home from school that she wanted to practice riding her bike without her training wheels. You can't pass up that opportunity with Karina, so we got home and pulled out the bike. It only took a few laps around the cul-de-sac, and she was screaming with joy at her success!

"I can't wait for Mommy to get home so I can show her that I can ride with no training wheels!"

Mom got home shortly after, and though the wind blew hard, Karina showed off her great new skills. There was only one minor tragedy - she did hit a parked car. I think it was one of those things where you see the object coming, but you can't stop looking at it, and before you know it you bee-line right into it. But she quickly recovered - no blood, not on the car nor on her, and she got back on the bike and perfected her turning abilities.

Way to go, Karina!!! We're so proud of you!

Today's excitement reminded us of a similar occasion a few years ago with big sister Jadyn....
