Taylor Can Ride His Bike!!!

So we struggled all last summer. I listened to, "I can't, " "I'll never get it," and "You made me fall, it is your fault." When I got tired of it I yelled. It wasn't working.....then Spring 2009 dawned. I had an idea. I counselled him we could only say things like, "I'll try again," "I am getting better," and "I'll get it eventually." It payed off....

Here Kelby shoved him off in my direction and then snapped a picture. He made it too. We are so proud of our little Taylor bug! I worked with him for an hour that morning and then Kelby came out and gave him a shove and the kid did it on his own without even knowing it. When he arrived to my side of the driveway I had him turn around and savor his success.


Ian was so excited to ride a bike too. In fact he loved it, and announced to anyone that would hear, "I'm riding a bike!!!"

Eventually Taylor became quite a pro and he can get started on his own and ride around. We love you Taylor!
