It was one of those proud moments as a mother that you look forward to - Griffen learned to ride his bike without training wheels! While Matt was home this past week we decided to take a walk at the Centennial trail with the dog. Before leaving Matt asked Griffen if he wanted to take off his training wheels. Originally Griffen said "no, I might fall". Matt explained that if he never tries then he will have them on forever. Griffen finally said "sure I guess I will try". He strapped on his helmet and knee pads for extra protection and we were off to the trail. Matt started off by walking behind Griffen with his hand on the seat and then moved to a hand on his back, then before Griffen knew it Matt was jogging next to him. There was only 1 fall on trail and he got right back on his bike to try again. The most wonderful sight to see was when Matt picked Griffen up, gave him the biggest bear hug, and told him how proud he was!
In less than 1 hour Griffen was riding by himself and even able to turn without falling over. The kickoff is taking some time but that part isn't so easy.
I was bursting with joy and wish someone could have captured how big the smile on my face was as I watched Griffen over come a fear and hit another milestone!
