(I initially wrote this post in June and we had hoped to share a little video of his first days on his bike but we never really got the video to load correctly. Thought I would go ahead and post this story.... sorry for the delay. )
So we did it ..... we broke down and got Davis a BIKE. He got to ride one at Dick's Sporting Goods about 1 week ago and he loved it. He would not stop talking about getting a bike, he woke up from a nap asking if he could get a bike, he was telling friends he was getting a bike, he had a one track mind. So he and Daddy went to Target and picked out a little bike that was just his size with training wheels. (I wanted to go too but Daddy was to eager to buy him a bike he couldn't wait until I got home from work on Friday.) Let's just say the first day he didn't really want to pedal and asked me to push him so he went about 10 feet in 10 minutes. I thought gosh this is not going to be easy AND then he just picked it up.... 2 days later he was pedaling quickly, steering on his own, and having a great time. Now we just need to master him learning how to brake. Right now his brake is yelling, "Daddy, daddy-we need to stop!!!" We keep trying to tell him that being able to brake is just as important as pedaling.... hummm I think it is more fun to yell for Daddy. He is so proud of himself and well frankly we are proud of him too.
