two down, two to go...

As of tonight, we officially have two kids riding bikes solo, and two who still have a ways to go. Tonight, our oldest son finally learned the fine art of starting. By golly, I think he's got it! It was so fun to watch him realize that he could start all by himself. And then he did it over, and over, and over again. And then he crashed. Poor little dude! We are working on the other fine art...of crashing, and then getting back up. We have a teeny bit of work left to do in that area! Fortunately, I have quite the large supply of bandaids, so I think we're set.

In other news, our youngest (21 months) has mastered his tricycle! First he learned how to pedal backwards. Then he learned how to pedal forwards, lol! It's nice to have the handle to hurry him along when necessary, but it is also really neat to see him go all by himself! Well, right up until #3 intentionally runs him over...oops! We still need lessons in "right of way" etiquette.
