haha, Mike, that's ME that gets 'em backwards. I claim it's all those years as a teacher when you have to say "right" but use your left so the kids will use the right one.

Great practice for Bob, also. "Winona! We're gonna turn right .... No; I 
mean the *other* right!" (grin)

Dear Debby,
I don't know if you realized it or not but the exercise of Winona 
following
Bob on the bike I think sounds like really excellent orientation 
practice!

Subject: Re: [blindkid] Training Wheels or Not?

Winona (13 this week!) has light perception only. She rode a bike with
training wheels, but wanted them off when Daniel (also 13) got his off 
at
about age 7. She was never able to manage the balance portion. She loves 
the
tandem bike, but even more she loves the large 3 wheel bike, like a huge
trike. No balance worries, cushie seat, and she can go on her own. My
husband put cards on his spokes like we all did as kids, and she can 
follow
the sound to stay on the street safely. No sidewalks here, so they ride 
in
the neighborhood street.
