my wee sprite`s 10th birthday party was this past sunday afternoon. while contemplating on what the heck to get her as a gift from me & Draeke.. i was sitting outside while the kids were playing, and realized the bike she was was so very too small her knees were up around her ears while trying to ride .

Awwwww, that is so cute. I can almost see the pride on her beaming face, you described it soooo well. Let's see, my daughter, when she was 12 was breaking in my 2 yr old stallion for me without my knowledge. She would go out to the pasture and get on him while he was lying down and sit on him while he walked around. Quite nervy as it could have been a disaster and I scolded her for taking such a risk. But on the other hand, I was proud that she was so brave. She was lucky, we raised him from a 3 mos old, so trusted him and she never got hurt.

it's great when kids, safely, take the innitiative and do great things! Sounds like your daughter knew just exactly what needed to be done.

Hey tess! What a smart lil girl that sprite is! Nice going! I'll bet she was really happy to have that new "big girl bike"! And to teach herself how to ride it and balance without anyone helping her! Now that is truly amazing! I know it took me awhile, with help to learn to balance on the damn thing! That was a great present to get her and I know she is totally thrilled! She will be able to enjoy that for a long time! Good work Mommy and Draeke!
