This handsome fella turned 6 years old over a month ago! (birthday pictures to come in a later catch-up session!)
For G's 6th birthday, he got one present a little early! He got a new big boy bike from Mamaw and Pwapaw! We knew last summer that he was getting really close on riding with no training wheels, so we decided to get his new bike without even an option of having them! We figured it would take a couple sessions of practicing, however, G suprised us immensely!
So off they went to find a flat spot of street to practice on. Daddy was quite the instructor because . . . . . .
G was off on his own in no time! Of course, he did take on a few grassy fields during practice! :) Luckily, that was where all of his major crashing took place!
Then he was off completely on his own! We were so proud of him and truly suprised he caught on that quickly!!!
He still has trouble getting started and braking enough to a complete stop! He hasn't had much practice since it has been wiked hot here lately, but he is loooking foward to riding again when it cools down! I even let him ride down the street by himself - yay mommy!!! :)
Aww, I'm getting chocked up. Maybe cause I can only imagine how quickly we will be at all of those big boy milestones, too! Way to go, G. You've got skills!
