Sailor vs. Mailbox

We recently had some friends move in on the next street over and since Tucker and Morgan could ride their bikes back and forth to each others houses we figured this would be just the incentive to get Sailor on her bike and learn to ride without training wheels. Yesterday afternoon Hank took the training wheels off and Sailor and I went to practicing. She did such a great job. She was quickly getting the hang of it and surprised us all with how far she was riding by herself. What we sadly forgot to work on was how to stop. She rode from the end of our driveway to the neighbors driveway and right smack into their all brick mailbox. Needless to say, Sailor had her first trip to the ER yesterday afternoon late. Luckily they were able to suture the wound closed with only 3 stitches. Sailor did such a great job and although she didn't want to ride again yesterday, she was feeling well enough to go fishing this morning.
