Daisy had placed 2 small stuffed animals in for the ride.<br /><br />Mox, Daisy has had a couple of good spills. She rode around in the park on Saturday.

You saw her dancing to High School Musical. Rocking? Hmmmm.<br /><br />Seamus, what's arbitrary about Winter Present Tree Day. It happens in Winter, we have presents and a tree, and it's a day. Frankly, I defy you to find a less arbitrarily named holiday.<br /><br />VS, you've put a nice spin on this, implying that I waited because she wasn't ready. That ain't it though. She was ready a year and a half ago when we had the first lessson. I just dropped the ball.<br /><br />4th Sister and Zelda1, you guys are big saps. :) Also, PRINT something out?
