2 Wheeling It

 This was Cooper in August.  On a bike with training wheels.

 He wanted to learn to ride without training wheels so badly so that he could ride to school with his big brothers and sister, but he was too scared.

 We finally decided to take the pedals off, so we did that about a month ago.  He scooted around on it without pedals and totally learned how to balance.

 Then we put him on a tiny bike with pedals, and he just took off!  I didn't have to run along beside him for even a second!

 Finally!!!  For the last few weeks of school, he got to ride his bike every day!  The first day that he rode was super windy!  He managed though!  And now he is an old pro!
