My daughter is learning three balancing acts - courtesy me ;-)

Today she went cycling. We have removed the stabilizers(side supporting wheels) - I was holding her bicycle while she was trying balancing. We have been doing this for the past couple of days. She seem sto be getting better though my back seems to get worse as I have to bend to hold the back of the seat. Despite protests from her we did go for about a kilometre and back. To my amazement, she seems to be picking up very fast. I hope that she is riding by herself tomorrow.

The second balancing act is roller skates. Thankfully she seems to be a pro with her skates and was able to skate in a couple of days. She needs to still improve on her technique but I am satisfied with her progress. We will try improvizing this weekend.

The third balancing act is her POGO stick. This is definitely going to take time. We are being careful here - she has her elbow gaurds and knee gaurds on when trying. She can now jump twice or thrice without support. Anyone who had guided their children with the POGO stick please post in some techniques to learn quickly.

So I wait until tomorrow to see my l'il one cycling on her own :-)
