2 WHOLE WHEELS
Story of the Green Glob that rode a bicycle
Jayson LOVES riding his new old bike we bought from DI for a few bucks. His old bike just didn't seem to fit him very well and stumbled across his red racer at the store while looking for other items. We took it home and put training wheels on it... The wouldn't stay put and he kept falling down because of it.
Funny story: we were on the river trail one day (closer to the lake) and Jay had gone ahead of us, turned around and was heading towards us. Next thing we know, he flew right off the 'cliff' and landed in some shrubbery. Luckily too! If those bushes weren't there he and his bike would have gone right into the deeper parts of the river! With out even thinking, I sprang to his rescue. We were pretty sure he was trying to balance with the training wheels so he wouldn't fall over which led him to flying off the trail. It was quite hilarious to watch! Glad he was okay, only a minor cut under his eye... Of course, his face... It is never anything but the face! He got right back on his bike and raced ahead with Kelson.
Eric and I got sick of his training wheels falling. We decided to take them off completely and try getting him to ride with out them. He used to have a balance bike and was really good at that. We figured all he really needed to learn was to pedal. Pedal and balance at the same time! Sure enough, it was a piece of cake for him. I think the actual thought of it was more scary to him than actually doing it. "Again, Again, Again!" He shouts. Proud parent moment! He is too short to touch the ground to get himself going. I'm sure with more practice he will figure it out! For now we push him or (if we are at the Autrey's house) start him half way up the drive way and let gravity do its thing!
"I am the GREEN GLOB!!!!!!"
I don't know where or how he named himself that, but I do think it's pretty awesome!
He will chant this as if it gives him more speed!
