Nate did it.

riding bike for first time

He’s a bike riding machine!  Wes took him out in the street this afternoon and in a matter of minutes he was off and riding.

He’s still a little hesitant at the start and finish . . . doesn’t like the fact that his feet don’t touch the floor . . . but he’d doing fabulous.  He rides up and down our street – turning all around – and is loving it.  He fell twice but got right back on the bike! 

Aunt Sam made sure to give him some good advice: If you get scared and think you’re going to fall – just ride on to the grass and fall over.  Apparently that’s what worked for her. :)

Nate is such a great, brave kid. We're lucky to know him!

That fact that you allowed Sam to give Nate bicycling advice makes you a brave, brave Mom.

I'll stick to things about hair, needles, care of the sick, great friendship, sewing, but bikes...will think twice about that one.
