No More Training Wheels



Aaron has been working with Lincoln the last couple of days teaching him how to ride his bike without training wheels. I don't know why, but for some reason that just seems like a dad job. So Aaron has been working with him for a few minutes after work every day.

Lincoln is now training wheel free. He can start going all by himself, and stay up all the way to the stop sign (about 4 houses), then the he stops, gets off, turns his bike around and comes back. All Linc needs now is a little bit more practice and then he'll be confident enough to go tearing around the neighborhood at top speed.

I don't think we'll ever use training wheels again for any of our other kids. Ivan has gotten so good on his balance bike, that I think he'll just transition straight from it to a bike with pedals. And once Ivan's riding a pedal bike, we'll put Adelia on the balance bike, and so on. No more training wheels for this family. :)
