Our little girl is growing up way too fast...

Ruth has been riding a bike with training wheels for a couple of years now.  Last Friday she decided it was time to take the training wheels off.  Since Jonesy wasn't home, she asked her Grandpa to take them off and help her learn to ride without them.  About the time Grandpa got the training wheels off, Jonesy got home.  Ruth told Jones that Grandpa was going to teach her to ride a bike.  Jones said that he wanted to be the one to teach her.  Grandpa realized that since Ruth was his first child, Jones SHOULD be the one to teach her.  I said no, let Grandpa do it (I was anxious to leave...Jonesy was taking me out for my birthday).  Grandpa insisted that Jones do it, Jones said okay and we all felt good about the decision.  Then we looked around for Ruth and found her riding circles in the driveway all by herself.  Turns out she didn't need Jones OR Grandpa to teach her...all she needed was for someone to take those darned training wheels off.  We took a couple pictures (with my phone) and a video, gave her lots of hugs and kisses and sent her off on a bike ride with Ember and Grandpa.  We had to go to the later movie.

She's doing much better than this video portrays...but it was pretty funny.
