On His Own...

I have just recently come to the conclusion that my almost 4 year old is growing up way too fast.

Just this week he has proven to me that he does not need pushed on the swing anymore.

He can pump his legs all by himself.

He is loving that he can go to the swing anytime, meaning he doesn't have to wait for me to get there to help. He wants to be out there ALL day now...

This is how high he can get...when only pumping for a few seconds...look at him go.



For the past week he has been telling Jerry and I that he wants his training wheels taken off of his bike.

We tried and tried to tell him that he wasn't quite big enough and that he would probably wreck a lot on it.

That did not discourage him.

So last night we took the training wheels off for the first time.

He made sure to put his 4 wheeler helmet on while he rode his "dirt bike"

The little stink did really good actually. The first few tries he only went about 20 feet but after about 30 minutes of working with him he could eventually go about 100 feet before he quits pumping those legs. He has also learned to put his legs down to slow down, this has greatly decreased the amount of wrecks he has had.




However, after each wreck he just gets right back up and tries again. He is determined to ride his bike like "the big boys do."

ps. I have some great footage of these little rides, but they are on my video recorder and are pretty long...I'm sure pictures will suffice.
