Look ma, no hands...

Justine went from not knowing how to ride her bike to being a trick rider in one day. It's not enough to just learn to ride a bike in one day, but she also perfected several "tricks" as well. The first day she could ride, she said, "Mom, it's all about the tricks." What goes up must come down and what rides with no hands will have a disastrous outcome. So of course it wasn't too long before she came in crying and sporting a huge bruise on her behind. When I asked the other kids how she fell into the landscaping, they replied, "Well, she was standing on her seat." (Rebecca - look what I allowed to happen to "your" Justine!)
