Two wheels!

At age 4 and 10 months, Colby has now mastered riding his bike without training wheels. He's been riding a bike with training wheels since age 2 1/2, and I've been trying to teach him to ride it without training wheels since he turned four. If only I had known how easy it was to teach him, he would have learned a long time ago.

First, we removed the training wheels and pedals from his very first (and tiny) bike. We lowered the seat all the way down and told him to push off with his feet. We told him to learn to balance on this so that he could glide across the driveway without putting his feet down. It took a few minutes of trying, but he caught on very quickly.


After 2 days on his "balance bike", we ripped off the training wheels off his bigger bike and off he went.


Miller is now practicing on her own balance bike. I predict she'll be riding a two wheel bike at age 3.


Colby also got his first 2 wheeled scooter, which he uses to scare the bejesus out of me by traveling at lightening speed.


Miller has taken over the 3 wheeled scooter.


We took a trip last weekend to visit Chip, Jen, Cooper, Zach and Braden- it's nice to only be about an hour away.

Colby and Braden take their nerf wars very seriously.


After a fun day of playing, we got Colby and Miller dressed for bed and had one last picture.


It was a great time for all, and we're going to try and make it a regular thing. Colby and Miller have so much fun with their cousins!!
