HE DID IT!!


Kaleb can ride a two - wheeler!

On Wednesday we were outside, when all of a sudden I got this urge to see if he could ride his bike without training wheels. We went over to the grass and in less than 10 minutes he had it figured out and was riding like he had been doing it forever! :)

Of course, there were some little falls here and there, to which he quickly got up and said, "I'm okay, it didn't hurt!" And off he would go.

But at one point he wiped out (really, I watched him), and couldn't get up because the bike was on top of him. He was crying...so I went over to him, helped him up and told him it was so cool that he just had his first real fall on a two-wheeler!
He was so excited he forgot to cry and promptly told all around him he had just had his first fall!
Hey...whatever works, right...? :)

He was so excited to ride bikes with the other kids and his brother especially. He can go fast like them now...
However, I think he was a little too excited about riding bikes when yesterday morning he woke up at 5:30 (AM!!!) and cried when we sent him back to bed. When asked why he was crying, he put his head in his hands and wailed, "I just want to go ride bikes!".

Wow! I think we might have a bike fanatic on our hands! :)

I can't wait for my kids to be old enough for me to send them back to bed when they wake up at 5:30! Lately 6:00 has felt like sleeping in. :)
Congraulations to Kaleb! I'm glad he's having so much fun. Tina, you're a great mom for giving him a "push" to do it.
