Justin - No Training Wheels?

Check out what Justin learned to do Sunday afternoon:

We took the kids to the school grounds on Sunday and Justin rode his bike around the entire track without his training wheels. We are so proud of his accomplishment.

Kaitlyn enjoyed learning to pedal on the tricycle, she is doing well. Her next task is learning how to use the handle bar, so that the trike will go in a straight line not just a circle.

Hey, great job, Justin! How did you teach him? We're thinking of teaching Caralee to ride her bike without training wheels, but we're not sure how to start.

Hi Martha, Hope you are all doing well.

Well,it really didn't take much once Justin was done whining. He was so afraid of getting hurt! So finally Chris said, "okay, let's put the training wheels back on." Well, that's when Justin became determined. Chris walked along side him holding the bike for a while, then I was going to take over so while Chris was taking Charity from me Justin attempted to ride by himself, and off he went. All he needed was confidence.

He is getting more confident everyday, now he can even turn around, sometimes.
