Boy Wonder!

See ya later training wheels!

Ready-set....glide!

Whoaaaaa.....easy does it!

It only took him 30 minutes to learn this....AMAZING!

As I said----I was freaking out!!!!! Good job buddy!


Tonight Greg and I decided Reese should try learning to ride his bike without his training wheels- so after work we headed to the park to give it a try! Now Greg-being the thorough man that he is, researched on what was the best way to teach an almost 4 year to accomplish such a feat. He found this website that gave some great advice--and it WORKS!
Ok- so first thing Greg did was take off his training wheels then lower his seat all the way down. Then you go to a small hill with a pretty good incline with room to coast at the bottom-you don't want your kid flying down a hill into oncoming traffic or anything:) So with the seat all the way down you tell them first to coast down (which he loved) with your feet off the pedals and using them to balance if needed all the way down. Reese skipped this step he just went gung-ho down the hill with his feet spread out to side. He learned to balance super fast then we took the seat up a few inches at a time and then told him to put his feet on the pedals and go! Well he went alright....all the way across the soccer field and he never looked back! I was freaking out! Honestly--not to be a cynic or anything- but I wasn't sure how he would do. He IS only 3 (gonna be 4 on Monday) and he didn't take a nap today:) so you get my drift--things could've gone south really FAST! Well that sweet boy proved me wrong again and I never cease to be amazed at his ability! He's a rock star!!! Seriously!
Anyways he and Daddy had a blast riding all over the park on the sidewalks---and when we asked Reese what he wanted to do with his baby-wheels (as he calls them;) he says, "lets hang'em in the tree!" --Will do my boy....will do;)
