Will the training wheels ever come off?

It really is different for different kids. I've done a bit of work in nursery schools, where I've seen two-year-olds pelting around on two-wheelers at mach speed (a pretty impressive sight - makes me go , untill they wet their pants because they were having too much fun to go inside... ) and almost-fives who don't even understand the concept of turning the pedals on a super-stable trike. You can explain physical things until you're blue in the face, but they seldom "get it" until they've done it for themselves (I'm still like that ). Muscle memory, I guess. The best thing you can do is be patient, be encouraging and make fish jr. feel safe. You'll enjoy the "aha" moment almost as much as her. Your girl sounds like a trooper; I'm sure she'll get there.
