Ok, they can stand there straddling a 2 wheeler without training wheels... but he can ride one too. :)
He has been bugging me for months to teach him to ride, but I thought he was too young and told him when he was four he could learn. I decided just to take off the training wheels in June one afternoon while Aubryn was sleeping and Carter was riding his 2 wheeler and he would see how hard it was and try later when Brady got home. (I think it's a 'dad job' to teach their children how to ride a bike and since my mom basically taught Carter, I wanted Brady to have the chance with Bryce).
Anyways, he did not see how hard it was. In fact after about 5 peddles he told me to let go and that's the end of that. Brady drives up to Bryce hopping the neighbors curb (it's rounded so nothing crazy) and his mouth drops. I look at him and start apologizing and explaining the story. He replies, "well, maybe at least I'll get to teach Aubryn how to paint her nails." He was actually really happy for Bryce and super impressed- as we all were. Carter was excited to show Bryce how to start on his own and took great pride when Bryce told Brady that Carter taught him how to start on his own. Since then, we've switched him from his Thomas bike to a bigger one so his feet aren't so flat on the ground and he makes more distance with less effort. However... the bigger the bike... the bigger the fall.
To be continued(dah, dah, dum...)- in a scary, low pitch sounding voice.
