It all began 1.5 years ago when Mema got Griffin his first bike. It was love at first sight for the motorcycle crazy guy. It is lovingly called the "green machine." He loved to cruise on it and was so comfortable, no pushing, no high centered rescues, no scary uneven ground to deal with, just pure self-guided fun. The transition to a pedal bike seemed funny to me. He really didn't know how to pedal, so we spent about a month or two with training wheels on his pedal bike, that I scored at the Ridgway sale, to learn how to pedal. Then just two days ago we were passing some dirt bike trails that we told him he would love once he could pedal w/out the trainers, he said, "Mom, tomorrow let's take off the training wheels and go to that bike course." We did and the rest is history, although, we haven't been to the course yet. I'm thinking a parking lot might be good first
.
He did it! We are on the way to new adventures.
Just a side note, I am learning to LOVE July. Last July at 2.5, Griffin was potty trained and this July he learned to ride his two wheeler. What does next July hold for us? I'm hoping it's not a motorcycle!
