Perseverance

All winter it has been Heidi's desire to ride her bike outside. Oh, she's been tearing around the house with it, no child of Karl's will ever be bike deprived so long as he has a say in it, but it's just not the same thing. This past week I felt it was finally dry enough to give her the go ahead. We walked to Grandma's that evening and Heidi had to take her bike along. Problem is, it's hard to ride over uneven ground! Heidi persevered. First she walked her bike, then she pulled it,

and finally, on the way home, we took the road so she could ride it!

Oh, and by the way, her bike is really a horse (although just for pretend she assures me) and his name is Kalour.She now tells me she is going to be "a cowboy, just like Jim" (from "The Man From Snowy River") when she grows up. Go Heidi!
