Learning to ride a bike!

Last night Kevin and I took a nostalgic trip down memory lane via this blog. It's amazing how the kids have changed in such a short time and it was so sweet to see glimpses of their past selves. So sweet that we decided to return to the blogging. Besides the sweetness, we don't know what else to do with videos of the kids. One of the first posts here was Eliza learning to ride a bike. It was 2008. She was in kindergarten and we were on the BAM schoolyard. This is Hazel learning on the same bike, in the Cragmont schoolyard, January 2012. Actually, she first learned earlier that day. We'd taken the bikes to Marin and were biking on a gorgeous path in the shadow of Mt. Tam. Unexpectedly, Hazel decided she was ready to take off the training wheels. And with Kevin running alongside her, she learned! Of course we had no camera. We didn't even have a phone. So we rushed home to get the various recording devices and recreate the whole scene on the schoolyard. Here it is.
