Pedal to the Metal

AHHHHH, guess who is riding a two wheeler pedal bike?!?!?  Little Guy, along with all his buddies, was lucky enough to get a bike from Santa but has had no interest in riding it.  He has been perfectly content on his balance bike and we haven't pushed the issue.  Well today he decided he wanted to ride his red bike and just like that, he did.  He has mastered his balance bike and can pedal a tricycle like no other so bike riding was really just a matter of combining the two skills.  Wednesday he insisted I hold on the back of the bike the whole time- that's a whole lot of running and bending for this preggo mama...Thursday he insisted he could ride by himself but still wanted his bike held whenever starting off- the wobbling was still throwing him off...by Friday he had mastered starting and pedaling and wanted nothing to do with help.  I told him to keep on practicing, he was going to be pedaling himself to the ice cream shop in Sunriver this summer!  Little Guy we are so proud of you, it's the most wonderful thing to watch you ride and hear you ask first thing in the morning and last thing before bed to go on just one more bike ride!
