But Sunday was a new day and apparently that was all we needed (and maybe a seat that was a little lower to the ground).
I went out with her on Sunday and within just a few minutes it suddenly clicked and she realized she could ride on her own. Once she figured it out she was unstoppable (quite literally since she hadn't mastered how to brake yet). She was so confident and was having so much fun it was so awesome to see. Yes, the knee pads and elbow pads are overkill, but she definitely felt safe. We couldn't believe that she was suddenly riding all on her own. Cameron kept yelling, "Good job Addy!" We were so proud that she even got a special treat of going out for frozen yogurt afterwards. It was a well-deserved treat, but probably very dangerous because while were eating she asked "what special thing could I try next so I can come back here for another treat?" This girl knows what motivates her.
Here is video of Addy showing off her new skills!
All of that protective gear brings back memories of rollerblading, Megs!!
