Congrats to her! We taught our daughter (who was a bit of a klutz) to ride in our backyard on a small hill. I read about that method somewhere and the idea was they can just hold and on and the bike will go slowly down the hill and if they fall, they're on grass. It worked well for us. And I know that I would beam if I saw a kid learning to ride a bike as I was driving by! It would make me remember my grandfather, who taught me, and my husband teaching our kids.

I smile thinking about it, for me it is remembering the independence & pride I felt at riding the bike all by myself and my parents looking at me the way I am sure you were looking at your daughter. They were smiling and proud, and for a moment just a little bit sad. Those are the moments that get us through the rest aren't they? :) This is so beautiful!
