First flight
Sometimes I have to carefully and painstakingly teach things to my children. I have to be there at every step to encourage and insist. Other timess they learn all by themselves. All I have to do is get out of the way.
Today I took the training wheels off of Gleek’s bike. It was like freeing a bird. She was off and pedalling in mere minutes. She did not need me to steady her or encourage her. She just needed me to get those training wheels out of her way.
For now her flight is only figurative, but if next week she jumps off the house and soars to the clouds it would hardly surprise me. She is so amazing and fearless.
