Maggie Rides

It was one of those moments I had always envisioned. Training wheels come off. Ready. Set. GOOOOOOOO - and off she would ride. Ahhhhh, well.... it didn't quiet go down as dreamed.

We were up at Daniel Webster on Saturday working on the mural, Charlie was running around enjoying his freedom on the playground while Maggie got to grout the new mural. Maggie soon lost interest in her arts project and headed down to the lower playground to play soccer. I walked her down & knew she was enclosed and happy to be playing with her classmates. Charlie and I ventured off to enjoy some lunch and dance to the live band. Time passed a bit...and so it was time to check on Mz Maggie.

We walked over to the fence that looked down on the lower playground and my knees buckled... there was Maggie, helmet on & riding her friends Elvis' bike. WHHHHAAAAT! WAIT. MAGGGGGIE!!! Perfectly riding around - pedaling, turning & just chatting with her buddies. Instant PRO! I just started to tear up. There was my Maggie. RIDING A BIKE! Amazing. And while not how I had dreamed - it was perfect.
