Her latest "moment" came just yesterday as she took off all by herself on her bike. No training wheels!! On Sunday, we asked her if she wanted to try taking them off; she's actually alot older than our 3 other kids have been when they took them off and learned to ride. Since she's the baby, we've been a little slower (or lazier) in letting her try things out. We took them off and she wasn't too keen on the whole idea at first. Then, we practiced for a day or two. Yesterday, she just took off!! I was chasing her down the street and she even got to the point where she could get started all by herself. And, she was so proud of herself! She went to several neighbors houses and knocked on the doors calling out whoever would watch her - she wanted everyone to see what she could do.
The little pink bike was actually Abby's first bike - it's seen some better days!! But, it's the perfect height for learning. Just big enough to not fall too hard or too far. It's faded and gross looking, but all the kids have used it (even Jake learned to ride on it!). Soon, it will be sent off to the dump or good will. Mute the music, enjoy the video and please ignore the panting, screaming mother who was trying to capture it on camera AND run up the street!!

So cute! Can't get enough of her smile. Too bad she can't stay little forever.
That is awesome! Maybe I can talk Talon into riding with training wheels when he sees Natalie.
Mom, did you get it?
What a great mom and what a precious, exciting moment! I remember eachof the Fitz boys first time on a bike with no t.w. and I remember them using their Fred Flintstone feet to stop just like Natalie. I'm a little jealous of the fun you two are having. See you tomorrow.
Way to go, Natalie!
So cute!!! I love that age, love it!
I also love your sewing projects. I am always "working" on a few things at a time, never really sitting down to do much of anything.
Darn, I need to quit my day job! :)
So very sweet. It's all down hill from here. Bigger wheels, then 4 wheels.
