Scooting

Lily got a new scooter from Rhiannon, Ben, Matthew, Carys and Abby for her birthday.  She was very excited and couldn't wait to ride it to and from school like her friend Cora.  Finally on Thursday it was warm enough (remember snow on Tuesday??) so I brought it to pick up for her to ride home.  Um . . . Yeah, she needs some scooter lessons.  I LOVE the fact that she is overly cautious and not a crazy daredevil, but she needed to take one foot off the ground in order to scoot.  We ended up dragging it home and promised to practice more.

On Saturday afternoon Cora's mom emailed me and asked if Lily wanted to come over to practice riding the scooter in their cul-de-sac.  We thought if she watched Cora do it, it would help and give her some confidence.  Cora lives right around the corner, so I watched Lily walk to the corner and Cora's mom watched her as she disappeared from my sight.  We  called each other as we saw her.  It worked perfectly and Lily go to walk to her friend's house (while dragging her scooter behind her) like a big girl!

 There goes Lily -- off to Cora's house.
