The Biker

You guessed it! My kid can ride a bike! Without training wheels!!! Wahoo!!!!!

My mom had gotten him a bike last year for his birthday and we've been trying ever since in little spurts to teach him to ride it....but to no avail. We realized that he was too short of the bike because whenever he would stand up to catch or balance himself, he would just fall over because his feet could quite touch the ground......So last weekend after yet another afternoon at the park with nothing to show for except bruised knees and scraped elbows, we went on a hunt for a smaller bike. We found one at Target and Bill took the pedals off so that he could just scoot around on it and get the feel for it.

We let him scoot around on it for one afternoon and then the next day the pedals went back on. And look what happened!!!!!!

He was SO proud of himself! Not to mention how proud Bill and I were!

Then we of course had to go over to Nana and Papa's house to show off a bit :)

He is so excited that he can actually ride a bike now that that's all we hear about these days! Which is OK! :) We are looking forward to being able ride some of the nice trails on our bikes now and not have to lug him around in the seat behind us.....he's getting heavy!
