Two Wheelin' G-man

Gavin FINALLY learned how to ride his bike with just two wheels. Yes, he turns 8 next month. He's never had any interest in learning to ride his bike even with bribes and persuasion. So what changed? Daddy told the kids he would buy them a power wheels car that they have been begging for since we left their old one in Texas.


It took Gavin all of 5 minutes to be riding his bike like a pro. It's all about balance and he can ride a skate board so we knew it wouldn't take long.

Reese too is well on her way to riding with just two wheels. She needs a little bit more confidence but she'll have it before the week is over.

She can go for 10 to 20 yards before she loses confidence and just stops riding. In the picture above she's riding without Christopher's aid.



Gavin riding down the back alley way. It's funny watching Reese get annoyed that she's not riding but Gavin is. She was quite upset that day. She's so quite and shy but majorly competitive.

Yay! We have been slackers with this, Ben still doesn't know how to ride! And who knows when we'll ever teach him! Maybe next summer at this point.
