Last year I tried but he was so wobbly even with the training wheels still on that I just let it go. Apparently he was ready this summer, so at least he's not going to go to middle school with his training wheels.

All of her friends would come over and want to ride bikes, and she would always say NO because she didn't want them to know she still had training wheels. <br /><br />She finally just decided to do it one day-- it took her about 10 minutes.Sincerely, Jennihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06670680788364099572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34369893.post-83458018035608347992009-11-17T14:42:19.701-05:002009-11-17T14:42:19.701-05:00ugh. being a mom is so hard. especially trying to ...ugh. being a mom is so hard. especially trying to be a "grown up" mom. <br /><br />they are lucky they have you.amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11616598232613837025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34369893.post-51333091248848037642009-11-17T06:20:20.778-05:002009-11-17T06:20:20.778-05:00I might have kind of laughed a little at the image...I might have kind of laughed a little at the image of Baby zooming by laughing....<br />Andrew is 10 and just learned to ride a bike.DysFUNctional Momhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12617354883122757511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34369893.post-74290812549411166732009-11-16T21:34:31.335-05:002009-11-16T21:34:31.335-05:00This is AWESOME.
