Look Mom, No Training Wheels!!!!



Since buying the boys' bikes, it's been super frustrating. On Kristjan's bike, his tire has gone flat twice (it's now fixed). On Clifford's bike, we've bought two different sets of training wheels for that bike, but they kept falling off and pieces went missing. After spending $30 within a week for training wheels (and contemplating on whether I should just throw the dang bike away and buy him a new one), Pete took the time to show clifford how to ride his bike without training wheels. It actually took only about 10 minutes before Clifford got the hang of it. Although in the beginning he didn't know how to stop himself on the bike, so he'd just peddle faster to keep himself moving (he ran into a few parked cars doing this). He still needs a "push" every once in a while, but for the most part, he can get himself started and balanced on his bike. My baby boy can ride a bike!!!! Without training wheels!!! I'm so happy and proud of him.
