Last night we had our block party. And, as the grand finale, we had our annual talent show (I'm still trying to convince Jon to read poetry with me!). The kids on the block all do something or the other. This year, Claire surprised us by wanting to participate in it. She wanted to show all the neighbors that she could ride a two wheeler.
When it was her turn to perform, all the audience members turned their chairs to watch. She hopped on the bike. Jon stood behind her to help her get started. And then she took off in fine fine form.
And then...she fell. I think she started wobbling on the dirt (our street is under construction) and then tried to overcorrect herself. But, she fell. Her very first fall off her bike (she's a rather cautious and careful biker so she doesn't take a lot of risks). And, she cried a lot.
But five minutes later, she was back to her happy self, chowing down on the candy she got from the pinata and quite proud of the new scrapes on her knees.
