Then the same with this one who pleaded and promised that he'd learn to ride his bike when he turned 12 years old. "I promise I'll do it if we can just wait awhile!!!"
So after our history with Megan and Trevor and the trail of tears, I expected Matthew to be the same and wasn't too excited about the idea of teaching another one how to ride a bike. After the track record with the other two, I honestly thought that potty training was easier! Matthew was still cautious, but seemed more excited about learning how to ride his bike without the training wheels.
Surprisingly he met the bike riding challenge a little better than the other two. There were a couple of tears, but it was only because he fell off once, but he shook it off pretty quick.
Could it really be this easy this time around? (Of course it was for me since I was just the one taking pictures and Mike was the one running back and forth.) But after a couple of times down the street we had a new bike riding pro!! Not only was he so happy about staying upright, but he’d see how fast he could go, and how quickly he could stop so he could admire the skid mark behind him. Even the one time he forgot to use the brakes and ended up in a bush didn’t seem to extinguish his determination to go faster next time! Yessss. The last one out of the three!
Bike riding freedom!

it took so many years to finally get Alex comfortable on a bike. She was still like 7 and riding with training wheels. And every time we had to move up to a bigger bike there was more issues. This is the first year (now that she's on an adult bike) that she finally started to love riding her bike. Thank goodness;)
