Just thought i'd share. Ok it's with stabilizes, but I cried my eyes out! She had a bike for ages and every now and then will want to get it out the garage and have a go. Unfortunately, it always used to ends in tears, cos she gets so frustrated that she can't do it. She'll pedal once or twice and then says it's too difficult.

So imagine my delight when she came home from school saying that she'd been on a scooter and a bike. I thought let's give it a go , but was still assuming it would end in a mega tantrum. Ok, she wasn't exactly speedy, but she did it!!! And she steered, which really is a first.Smile

Really didn't think it was going to happen. The last time I felt like this was when dd started to use a pen properly. She had a palm grasp up until little over a year ago and then literally over night, she was writing(ish) and colouring in!

Just wanted to share with you really. I'm over the moon!Smile

Really needed something positive to happen.

I know. It really is!

You know that feeling when you think it's never going to happen and then it does. It's great when they surprise us isn't it.

"You know that feeling when you think it's never going to happen and then it does...."

YES YES YES, I know that feeling and it is the best feeling in the world. Well done to your dd, that is a fantastic achievement. I can still remember the days when I had to break my back pushing each of my ds's knees down trying to teach him how it works. WELL DONE
