[blparent] Big Girl Bike

[Robert Shelton]

Ah, c'mon ...  A year is an eternity in kid time.  You're just at the
beginning of a long lovely summer.  See how it goes, and maybe break it out
when the time is right.

She hasn't seen the two-wheeler yet because Gerald needs to put the training
wheels and the horn on first.  She has a Dora the Explorer helmet, and the
standing rule even for the tricycle is no helmet, no bike.  I wasn't going
to show her the two-wheeler till we decided if she should ride it now or
wait another year.
