Our new house is at the end of a cul-de-sac full of kids (yet another reason why we love it...) So when the weather cooperates, we usually spend an hour or so riding bikes before dinner. Jackson's bike has lived through several moves and two years or being houses outside which has left it a little rusty. So when repairs needed to be made to his bike he would ride Francis's. This lead to the eventual destruction of Francis's training wheels and their removal. So for the next two weeks Francis sat out our bike riding sessions. Finally, one day after watching every kid in the neighborhood pedal by him, he got on the bike got it going with his feet, put his feet on the pedals and voila, he was riding a two wheeler! He mastered it in all of five minutes and the best part was because he did it without me, I never needed to steady the bike for him or push him to get going. Now he is out there riding like a pro and I fear Nicholas may not be far behind....
