Do you remember the firsts? Not like, the first steps you took or the first word you ever uttered; I mean the really big firsts. Your first Barbie doll Fashion Avenue outfit your mom bought for you with almost no begging at all, the first time you opened a birthday gift without your sister grabbing it away from you before you blinked, your first bike ride on a two-wheeler... yeah, those. :) It seems like forever ago but not at all at the same time. It was just yesterday. And there were pink and purple streaks in the sky on a warm evening in summer. The culdesac in your backyard makes a great track. 'Round and around with two big pine trees in the middle-- maybe three. You can't notice you're too busy concentrating. The warm breeze you make as you ride, or attempt too keeps you cool as you struggle. Peddle and push. Peddle and push. The sun was almost down and you had to be in before then-- but you've got to learn now! You have to make it NOW now! No more of this kid who hasn't been able to tackle a non-trainingwheel bike before she turns into a baby of a 7 year old. Not me! Not I!
You look across the circle, 'round and around, at your sister and your two friends. They already know how to ride two-wheeler bikes. Almost... almost!! keep you balance, steady...yes-- YES!!! I'm going! Tessa! tessa Lynn! Lindsey! Look at me go!! I'm riding a BIKE!! Run inside to tell mom and dad, they seem midly interested; there's discussion going on about something else but ...that's alright! You don't care. Grinning!Beaming from ear to ear. You can keep up with tess and the girls now. :)
