At long, long last Ryan is riding his bicycle with training wheels!!! This is a big deal for our boy, who would much rather be building with his K’nex, digging in the sand, or cutting with scissors. We’ve been encouraging him to practice pedaling for months without any success. Suddenly this week, he decided the bike was worth another look, and he’s having a blast. Whew!
We made Ryan’s first bicycle “crash” out to be an exciting milestone. Since he has inherited the tendency to give up quickly if something doesn’t come easily (not sure just where this came from?), we were afraid he wouldn’t be willing to ride his bike anymore. So, we explained that Big Boy Activities produced Big Boy Boo-boos and celebrated with a cookie. Paul wisely ushered him right back outside to ride again as soon as the wound was patched.
