Mobile on 2 Wheels

T-man is mobile on 2 wheels! Last weekend, Marshall and I took him to the bike path behind our house and he just took off. He had practiced a couple of weekends before, but didn't quite get it. With Marshall's careful guidance (following advice from Granddad), he did it! Here's a video of one of his first solo rides.

Soon after this, we couldn't keep up. He just kept riding up and down the bike path and turning around.  He was so proud and really started to get the starting, stopping, going through the grass, the dirt, etc.

I'm so glad that we were both there to witness this. We now have vivid memories of both boys learning to ride their bikes. We are so proud of T-man. Once he has some success with something, you can really see the joy in his eyes. Truly one of the gifts of parenting.

I can't wait for the summer and what it will bring for this family with all of us on bikes now and tons of paths around town. Now, if it would just stop snowing!
