Riding on 2-wheels

I can still hardly believe it myself, but Josiah is officially riding a 2 wheel bike with no training wheels. Unfortunately the reason for teaching him how to ride the bike with no training wheels involves running over the bike with the training wheels. Uncle Mike had given Josiah this very cool, all chrome, "boys" bike. Josiah loved that bike! But one day he parked it in between Daddies truck and trailor on the passenger side. There was no hope for the bike and the training wheels were crushed as well. The reason for the cool bike was because he was riding this pink and purle girls bike that I had picked up at a garage sale for a $5 and Uncle Mike thought he should have a cool, boys bike. Well now with no cool bike, and the pink and purple bike with no training wheels. Daddy decided that he would try and teach him how to ride. We worked with him for a few days in our yard, but it is just to hard to learn balance with ruts and whatnot. So Dan took Josiah down to our church parking lot and within 2 days, Josiah was riding with very little help at all. He had trouble starting and stopping, but within a week he had mastered (well almost anyway, since he still falls once and a while), riding a bike with no training wheels. We are so proud of our 3 1/2 year old little boy!!!
