We don't do training wheels her...Yay for Cole!<br /><br />We don't do training wheels here, either. When they are ready to ride a two-wheeler, we just get them up on one...hold onto the seat, running alongside them...then we let go. They go for a bit, then they eventually turn to see we are not holding on the seat anymore, then promptly freak out and crash. Happens every time. Then before the betrayal tears start, we say "but BEFORE you noticed we weren't holding on anymore, you were doing it by yourself!!! By yourself!!!" then that thought sinks into their brain, they smile, and the next thing we know, they are riding a bike solo. Crashing a few times at first is a part of it. Just keep a helmet on them to protect that brain; every other body part is fixable!<br /><br />Katrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04446770591516588794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-62584352253914773762012-10-19T18:45:19.329-04:002012-10-19T18:45:19.329-04:00Awesome and AMEN we coddle our kids way to much to...Awesome and AMEN we coddle our kids way to much today.
