Adam Learns To Ride A Bike

We got a notice from Adam's preschool that they were going to do a Ride-A-Thon for St. Jude's.  The kids would ride a bike of their choice around the parking lot in order to raise money.  So, we thought this was a perfect motivating factor for getting those training wheels off of Adam's bike.  We've tried in the past, but really not dedicated the time/effort to the training and Adam would inevitably end up scared, crying, mad, or whining...or a combination of all.  Now we had a deadline...today actually.  He worked so hard and over the course of 2 days, and a total of about 20 minutes practice time,  he did it!!  Chris and I couldn't believe how fast he caught on.  There were some spills, but as the expert parents we are, we brushed it off and kept going.  Here are a few pics of the beginning process.  The result is a kid who asks to go ride his bike everyday and a kid who has found a whole new independence with what he can now do "All By Himself!!"

Success!!

This was one of those learning moments
