Look ma, no training wheels

Kate had her 2nd go around without training wheels today. Yesterday was a somewhat controlled descent on a grassy slope. Lots of courage building needed, and lots of talks about her brain needing to think positively and make her body fight through the fear. A few bumps and bruises later and she had done a really good job of practicing.

Today, she rode on the street completely unencumbered. max distance of about 150 feet. And, she wanted to quit and definitely cried at junctures, but fought through it and had some really good rides and showed that she is starting to get more comfortable up there. A few more days of good practice and I think she'll be in pretty good shape.
