But TODAY ... hot off the press ... Syd learned to ride a bike

... and pulled out her tooth.

Speaking of .... where is that tooth????  Does the Tooth Fairy know where to find it?

Back to the bike.  This is the little "Circus Bike" (as Syd calls it), that Briton snatched off the top of a pile of trash at the dump.  It's definitely earned it's keep.  Talmage took the training wheels off this afternoon and then, before I knew what was happening, Syd was pedaling away.  She got it in a couple of minutes.  Start with little Circus Bikes, is what I say.


Once without the helmet:

Anyway,  it was one of those things I didn't expect to happen during the course of the day.  It just happened.  She's pretty happy about both the tooth and the bike.
