Cycling in 30 minutes!

We finally got Kavya's cycle from the US yesterday. She said that she was ready to learn without the training wheels so I got them removed. Saturday morning at 9:15 AM, we were ready to start learning how to cycle. She was really scared when she started. She would panic the moment that I would let go. But I could see that she was able to balance herself well. 15 minutes into cycling, laziness took over and I said I cannot keep pace and left the cycle. She lost balance a couple of times and then just started cycling.

Mighty proud of her, she mastered cycling in less than 30 minutes. Realized a couple of things, my being around was very important to her, she trusted me when I told her that she can cycle and I have to leave the cycle. And the cycle was just the right size, she can balance it with her feet, so she could stop and start when she wants. Great job Kavya :)
