Minky & Me

Coco LOVES her bicycle. There’s a short steep hill off the bike path that’s she’s always been afraid of. I told her it would look smaller every time she passed it. She looked at it the other day and said, “that’s a baby hill!” So she decided it was time to go down. I had her start 20 yards down the path. As she approached the split, she slowed and looked,, then veered back onto the path at the last minute. She rode 20 yards down the path, slammed on her brakes, turned around and made another pass at it. Again, she veered back to the safety of the path at the last second. This time she sprinted a mile to the next cross street without looking back. The next day, Coco tried again and did it first time, no hesitation. And we immediately looped back and did it 3 more times. Now it’s only scary for me – she goes scary-fast, no brakes.
