The Pressure.

Being a twin can be a good thing and a bad thing:

Having someone with you all the time; never alone, always having a friend.

(that can go both way; either good or bad, depending on the mood of either one of C&C)

Also, having a twin can add extra pressure... a pressure to do the same things as one another.

So, neither Dan or I were surprised to see Cassie wanting her training wheels off of her bike and wanted to ride a "big girl" bike.

A few falls and a couple of scraped knees and trying to get the balance figured out, Cassie finally is riding without training wheels.

So, now we are a training wheel free zone at our house; almost as big and exciting as the day we became a diaper free zone...

I said "ALMOST."

But being training wheel free is a day to celebrate.

Way to go Cassie!
