Showcase #2 - Scar-Latte

Showcase #2 - Scarlett is our Little Miss Independent.  She doesn't back down from a challenge.  She works at something until she gets it right.  And when she gets an idea in her head, she figures out a way to make it happen.  She's pretty much a mini-Jeremy!  On Mother's Day/Jeremy's birthday, she decided she wanted to start riding her bike without training wheels.  So, Jeremy took off the wheels and took her out for a little lesson.  It didn't go very well.  She kept falling over, couldn't hold her balance and forget about steering!  She stuck with it for about half an hour and then it was bath and bedtime.  It rained for the next three days, but finally stopped on Wednesday afternoon.  Scarlett begged to get back out on her bike.  So, after dinner I took her out while Jeremy was with Fiona at gymnastics.  Scarlett put on her helmet, hopped on her bike and simply put - took off!  I had to help her get her balance for about 10 minutes and then I was no longer needed.  Jeremy and Fiona came home and they could not believe their eyes!  She was off and biking!  Way to go Scar-latte!!!  This is one example of when her strong will and determination worked for the good!!!

Balance issues....

And she's got it!!
