Sully on the Two Wheel Bike!


A few weeks ago, Sully's training wheel kept twisting up. The bolt needed tightening. Of course, I didn't tell HIM that! "Hmm. Looks like your training wheel broke." We took the training wheels off. Over the next few weeks, we went for a couple of, "bike rides." Sully strattled the bike and pushed it with his feet while I walked. After a few times, he became very good at balancing and could push with his feet, then coast a ways. Then came the challenge, "I bet you can't pedal that bike like a big boy." It took him 15 minutes. He's barely three and riding around like a madman!! Love how much more freedom he has, though! He can ride so much faster and is actually wiping out less--training wheels really suck sometimes!! He just giggles and grins ear-to-ear so proud of himself!!
