I remember my struggles to ditch the training wheels- it was really traumatic if I can remember it almost 30 years later!<br /><br />hmm, my nephew has a birthday coming up-how old is the youngest you would suggest a balance bike?cyclerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10331461189944538729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535246666645795951.post-29529488775602761062010-06-16T14:43:00.920-04:002010-06-16T14:43:00.920-04:00"Magical" is such a great way to describ..."Magical" is such a great way to describe this big event.

The other thing about training wheels I hate--on a dirt driveway, when you go over a low spot (there are lots of low spots), the training wheels end up on land, while the back tire spins.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14748454816480995214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535246666645795951.post-91168786063653611062010-06-14T10:00:49.070-04:002010-06-14T10:00:49.070-04:00Congrats!!

Yow.<br /><br />We've got L in his seat now and he doesn't hate it, especially if we bribe him with a Wasa cracker. He likes to bang on his safety bar and frequently tries to change gears for me. We rode up to Fort Greene park yesterday to see friends and then headed to Madiba to watch Germany tromp Australia. Very fun.Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13167976049970994562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535246666645795951.post-85565577712956079142010-06-14T08:53:24.703-04:002010-06-14T08:53:24.703-04:00That's so exciting and the pictures are adorab...That's so exciting and the pictures are adorable, especially the last one!

Same with swimming.<br /><br />I want T to try the riding- but he is too short to reach ground when not pedaling so he is using training wheels. He is so sick of them though... He'll choose balance bike for speed, and pedal bike for the novalty to pedalling...MamaVeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09519007680870604271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535246666645795951.post-11725370149651864272010-06-14T00:57:29.424-04:002010-06-14T00:57:29.424-04:00So fun!!!
