I am pleased to announce that my son has achieved a crucial life
achievement.
[Insert fanfare and trumpets here]
He can officially ride his bike
without training wheels!
There was a lot of blood (his), sweat (most definitely
mine), and tears (him), but he finally did it! Let’s just say he started off
hesitant (“Don’t you dare let go of me, Mom!!!”) but finished with style (“Mom!
Look! I can do tricks! See how I wiggle my handlebars but I don’t fall down!”)
It’s a beautiful thing.
And just because...
I couldn't let the kids have ALL the fun.
(Yeah, my kids are going to hate me when they are teenagers)

Yay for Bud! I remember my mom holding the back of my little brother's seat as he learned. She was wearing a skirt suit just getting home from work and couldn't run as fast as he was riding. She let go and he didn't notice until he had gone all the way around the block and rode right up behind her back at our house. Once he saw she wasn't holding on, he immediately fell over haha :)
ReplyDeleteGo Bud!! That really is the beginning of manhood, he's got his own wheels now, look out!
ReplyDeleteWoo hoo! This is huge! Go, Bud!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the last picture. You are a spit fire, eh?
Hey good for him. That's awesome. You are so right, A boy and his bike. What freedom. Great picture of you on the scooter too, fun.
