just warn her that she might learn the hard way about wearing protective

hopefully not too hard (to the point that she won't want to uni)

Steveyo-

How cool is that? Way to go, Monya. What a treat for both of you. I hope
you stick with it and do lots of rides together.

Terrific. Way to go both of you. Lets just hope that the helmet police
don't catch wind of that.

...? Were you on flat ground? Or up on something? Never ever have I
fallen doing a still stand. There comes a point where you feel you
can't bring your balance back. If you don't notice that point, you'll at
least know you're falling and step off. I can't imagine how to had to
have stitches from that.

I didn't know who that was till I googled him. I suppose I do look a
bit like him.

Oh I warn her, but as a parent I've learned to pick my battles. A
skinned knee will convince her better than I can to wear pads.

She started trying when she was 7, but only a few minutes/week, but
after her 8th bday (in May) she started try a bit more, and got it
pretty soon after that.

It sure is fun to see them get their first unsupported riding started!
My 7-year-old (will be 8 this month) is still enthusiastic about it, and
my 6-year-old is just as hooked. Tonight we get back to our unicycle
club (The Wonders) for the first time in many weeks due to summer
vacation. We're all excited. Helmets are the only equipment that
they're wearing while riding so far, but they're also getting interested
in Muni, so I think I'll be getting wrist and shin guards with bigger
unis for them this Christmas. (my wife doesn't know the purchase plans
yet).
