We don’t ride bikes a lot.
We have a gravel drive way on a hill and if you don’t stop on the way
down you will end up in the busy road.
If you do make it down you have to pedal up and it is just a lot of
little kids. The kids like to ride
bikes, we just don’t have a good place to do so right now. The kids made lists of what they wanted to
get done this summer and one of Vincent’s was to learn to ride a two
wheeler. He is almost 6, so it was a
good goal. So on Monday June 22nd,
Joel and Cecilia fell asleep in the car on the way home from OT and I decided
it was a good time to try to learn to ride a two wheeler. We stopped by the farm and got Brad to take
the training wheels off. Then we drove
to the church parking lot to practice.
While the little ones slept in the AC of the car this
pregnant lady decided to make her oldest child learn to ride a two wheeler
slightly against his will. Bending over
and holding onto his bike and running in the hot sun wasn’t as bad as his whining
at first. He was nervous, but we had
established he was nervous and continually telling me that was not going to
help. He ended up doing really well and
was able to go across 6 parking spots without me holding on. We have a ways to go before he gets it down,
but I really think he is ready to go for it.
Vincent doesn’t have the same opinion.
*We actually gave up and will try next summer. Too hard to teach him with my pregnant belly.
