Bike Fun

At the beginning of summer, I told Maddox that he needed to be off training wheels by the time school started. Of course, summer is so hot that we did not ride bikes for months. On Thursday, we decided to ride bikes and we happened upon Maddox's friend Colton who had just gotten his training wheels off earlier in the week. With this information, Maddox decided it was time to give no training wheels a try.

Thursday was rough, Maddox couldn't get his balance and was very frustrated. Friday we tried another approach and Maddox made a little progress. We woke up Saturday and Maddox finally got it down:

After going on his own, we tried to work in a turn

Sunday was even better. The plan was to learn how to start off on his own. It took a few times and me telling him I wasn't helping him anymore and he finally got it down. Now he is riding around like a pro. He even took the time to make some faces.

His next trip down the hill was accompanied by a turn and trip all the way back up. Unfortunately, I didn't capture that moment.
