Which means it's time to ride! Quinn has been looking forward to summer bike rides since we had to put his bike away for the winter, nearly 9 months ago. Now that he can ride without training wheels he can go on the longer rides with the "big" kids at work/daycare. However, he quickly learned that he just couldn't keep up on his little bike. After a lot of encouragement and help from Kyle and the other kids he looks up to, he was convinced to try a slightly bigger bike. It took a couple of times to learn how to start, since he can't touch the ground with both feet. But now he's a riding fool! And so proud of his new accomplishment. All I here from him is, "When can we go for another bike ride?!"
Now that Quinn is riding a bigger bike, he kindly gifted his little bike to his younger brother. The best part is that Carter has grown enough in the last 9 months that he can actually reach the pedals! He wanted to ride so bad last year, but I just wasn't able to find a bike that small. Carter is now so excited to be able to have his own two wheeler. He sometimes gets discouraged that he can't be fast, and often get's stuck (because uneven gravel and training wheels are a hard combination when learning to ride.) However, it would not surprise me if I am removing his training wheels before summer is finished.
How fun! Tegan just learned how to ride without training wheels, and she is loving it. She asks everyday now if we can ride bikes. I can't believe how fast they are growing.
