Emperor is speeding along in this photo. He was quite determined to learn to ride his bike today, but it didn't quite go according to plan. |
Elf is in seventh grade, but hasn't mastered that whole riding about on his own thing, either. For whatever reason, this skill is elusive to them both. |
Solution: no training wheels! Emperor will pedal and steer, and Elf will keep his feet on the ground. Everyone wins! |
Woodjie and Rose got their little trikes out as well. |
Woodjie will get a fruit snack for each smiley face and as a bonus for getting all smileys, he'll get some computer time tonight! Have a great weekend, everyone! |
Wow... now that's strange. Riding a bike just takes a little practice (and balance). The good news is that they're giving it a shot .. and i hope to hear of their success soon!
ReplyDeleteI was never able to ride a bike
ReplyDeletethe scoliosis wreaks havoc with balance
my brothers and sister used to make fun of me
I love that your kids work together
I didn't ride a bike til I was 14. My brother picked up a big stick and told me to write it or get hit with the stick. I rode it. I never did become a decent rider though. Been thinking about getting an adult tricycle for a while.
ReplyDeleteThe girly took a while longer to learn to ride a bike. It's good to see them outside and trying! :)
ReplyDeleteGood job Woodjie on all those smiley faces!!!
When my kids were learning to ride I couldn't watch. I didn't want to see them fall and maybe get hurt.
ReplyDeleteYour boys will get the hang of it, just keep trying. My sister was about 15 before she got her balance.
