Owen is 4 years old and we didn't have a bike for him to ride this summer. He had outgrown his tricycle and in spite a of an amazing collection of bikes accumulating in our garage - we didn't have any with training wheels.
We hemmed and hawed about going to get him a bike but just never got around to it.
So Owen decided to just try the big bike while he was waiting for his parents to get their act together. He asked Buff to get him started one day. He got on and did this . . . first try.
It was very exciting. These kind of events rank right up there with learning to crawl or walk. I'm even known to shed a tear or two . . . my baby is growing up . . . (sniffle, sniffle)
And for those of you who were wondering about his ability to multi -task . . . yes, he can still talk and ride a bike at the same time. He is an amazing child . . . he must get that from his dad. He just keeps talking . . . ;0)
And because I do not want to show any favoritism . . . Carra realized she can do this . . .
One handed bike riding while dressed completely in pink . . . yeah, she gets that from her mom. . . the pink part. Extraordinary.
And like any good blog post should end, we leave you with Owen riding off into the sunset -or a tree - or the broad side of a barn . . .
Way to go, Owen!
