<\/p>\nWe went out for a rather early morning bike ride this morning. \u00a0This was Cole’s second full bike ride without any training wheels. \u00a0He’s done amazingly well in such a short time. \u00a0In fact neither Steph nor I ever thought one of our kids would learn to ride a bike this way. \u00a0Cole got so good at riding his 3 wheel scooter we got him a 2 wheel scooter – it wasn’t but 3 weeks and he was as good on his 2 wheel scooter as he was one his 3 wheel. \u00a0All of that practice had a huge impact on his balance. \u00a0When he moved over to his push bike (no pedals) he almost immediately was able to pick up the balance and pretty quickly was riding it. \u00a0Oddly, he really didn’t enjoy it much and still kept going back to his 2 wheel scooter. \u00a0We decided he was ready, and with his very clear guidance, we removed his training wheels on his regular bike. \u00a0He needed about 2 tries and he was riding it just as if it was completely normal for him.<\/p>\n

Going out on regular trail is interesting for a boy who just learned to get on a ride a bike – lot’s of people, 2-way traffic, \u00a0the path goes within feet of the Sammamish River, so there’s a lot of distractions. \u00a0Both Steph and I were a bit worried but his first trip last weekend he did really amazingly well. \u00a0He didn’t like the hills (especially the one’s that headed very near to the water) but with some coaxing from mom he did them just fine.<\/p>\n
Today’s ride he was even more comfortable and we went for quite a ways. \u00a0By the time we were done, Cole was exhausted. \u00a0So proud of that boy for picking up riding a bike so quickly!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
