Helmet? . . . . . check!
Knee pads?. . . .check!
Training wheels? . . . . not anymore!
Jack has been more than ready to take the training wheels off his bike for some time now. He has been begging to ride a two-wheeler and the only thing holding him back was me (actually, more Ryan.) I told him once we got him a helmet we could take the training wheels off. You know me, safety first! About a month ago we finally got the helmet and the knee pads were just a bonus.
It was a little harder than Jack thought it was going to be at first. He had to learn that it was harder to keep his balance when he went slow. But as soon as he figured that out he took off. Ryan was very surprised and impressed at how quickly Jack picked it up - probably because it took him forever to learn. Jack obviously got my balance! Now we can't slow him down. He can go wherever he wants as fast as he wants - always with a big grin on his face! Maybe soon he can get a paper route and start pulling his own weight. We really are so proud of him!
Jack padded up and ready to go!
Overly concerned Dad doing some coaching.
He's starting to get it.
And there he goes!
