Kason finally did it today! He is riding without the training wheels. We really only practiced it a couple times this Spring which makes me think I should have tried it more last summer. It is just funny how some things you think kids will have a hard time with and it will take forever to get but then all of a sudden they get it. Just the last time I was going with Kason up and down our driveway, holding onto him and it seemed like there's no way he's ready to learn it and today I just decided to let go off him more and he learned it just like that. He still needs help getting started and with sharp turns but I can't believe how quickly he got it.
I have also been practicing with Anika and Emily, all 3 of them taking turns but the girls are a lot more scared than Kason to try on their own. I know Anika can do it easily because she can balance well on it but every time I let go off her she puts her foot down on the ground and stops the bike. I think she needs to practice some more with daddy next. :)
Anyway, Kason was sooo excited he did it. He kept wanting to go more and more and had a huge smile on his face. I think it helps that he's not afraid of a little fall, he brushes it off and gets up again. He can't wait for dad to come home from work so he can show him. I love this little guy.
Hi Kason, you became really a Big boy
