Little Red Bicycle

Last year about this time we tried hard to teach Peter how to ride his bike without training wheels. We quickly realized that we weren't getting very far with him. He just was not ready I guess. We didn't push him but occasionally asked him if he would like our help to learn how to ride his bike. He would usually say, "Not today." Then he would grab his scooter and ride around happily. After realizing that Peter is going to be 7 next month we knew that he had to finally learn how to ride his bike...frustration and all. Mike was so good with Peter and in less than one hour Peter was able to ride down the sidewalk without any help. By day 2 he was biking around the neighborhood. I even followed him in my running shoes around McLeod Circle and he was able to get around without falling. He can almost start all by himself. The best part is that he LOVES riding his little red bicycle. We are just so happy that he finally agreed to let us (really I mean Mike) help him. We are all looking forward to some family bike rides as the weather gets warmer. Hip Hip Hoorah!!!
