My "Big Boy!"

Yesterday, Mason asked Jacob to get "dad's tools" and take his training wheels off. He was determined to ride his bike like a "big boy." Jacob was so great helping him... they practiced for over an hour.

They decided that for our FHE activity should be a bike ride with dad... Mace and Jacob kept working.

When Mark got home Mace was so excited to show dad what he had learned. Mark still had to guide him a little until Mason yelled out, "I finally figured it out!!!!" For the next hour he rode up and down our sidewalk getting better each time.

(Sorry the video is so grainy... it is my phone... I need to pull out the camcorder instead)

My 3 yr old with no training wheels scares me a lot... this is what he can do now...

Occasionally he focuses on an object to the side and I am sure he is going to run into a tree. When he stops he insists on making a skid mark because it is "cool" and it almost sends him over the handle bars and last of all... he is my baby... I know he is 3 1/2 but he is such a little guy I find myself still carrying him around and treating him more like he is 18mos. or 2. even though he is totally capable of doing all things 4 yr olds do... even this...I have a little dare devil on my hands.

This morning he came into my room at 6:45 and said "Mom, the sun is up... Let's go ride my bike." I think he just found a new favorite.
