This video was shot at Lurker park. This is Erin's first (mostly) unassisted ride on a bicycle where she is successfully doing the pedaling herself. Shortly after this video, she rode down a short embankment and spilled over on to the ground, landing mostly on her head (thank God for bicycle helmets) and scraping up her knee in the process. She told me she didn't want to ever ride her bike again. As I cleaned her up back at the Santa Fe (using the Hyundai First Aid kit that came with the car), she revised her statement, saying that she didn't want to ride her bike again until her knee healed. I have to say, I was mighty impressed with how brave she was as I cleaned the wound with an alcohol swab (she wimpered a little and squeezed my finger, but didn't really cry)... much braver than her Dadoo would have been under similar circumstances as a child. Ten minutes later, she was back on the bike, pedaling down the path. In the car, on the ride home, she recounted the story of when she fell, but it was now humorous to her, and she was laughing about how dirty her bike and bike helmet got in the fall. Now, she can't wait to go ride again. She apparantly already understands the concept of getting right back up on that horse (or in this case, bicycle). I admire my (almost) 4 year old for her resilience and determination. But, boy, the adage about them growing up fast is more true than I ever could have understood prior to having a child.
