Training Wheels

Maya got her bicycle with training wheels two years ago and the training wheels are still on... She is very athletic like my husband, but very coward like me. She gets very scared of even little hills in our neighborhood.
It is just so funny to see her on her bicycle! When she rides, her body tilts on one side, totally depending on one of the training wheels. Her face becomes very serious. Her stuffed animal is in the front basket as her spiritual guide. She goes very very slow. People passing by cannot help smiling at her!
It looks like the training wheels will still stay on her bike for a while...

補助輪つきのピンクの自転車を二年前に買いました。そして、二年後の今、まだ補助輪つきです。まやは旦那の血を引いて、とっても運動神経がいいのに、恐がりなところは私そっくり。近所で練習しても、ちょっとした坂道があるだけで大騒ぎなってしまいます。
自転車に乗っている姿は、へっぴり腰で、片側に体が倒れて補助輪にもたれかかり、必ずぬいぐるみを前のバスケット二入れ、とっても真剣な顔つきで、それも亀のように遅く走ります。。。通行人は、そんなまやを見て必ずニコニコしています。
まだしばらく補助輪のお世話になりそうです。
