DRUM ROLL PLEASE....Caleb Can Now Ride a Bike!

In April my parents surprised us by buying Brydon and I bicycles.  We were so excited to finally get bikes (first time in our marriage) and Caleb loved that Mom and Dad could keep up with his great bike riding skills.  So we have done a lot of bike riding lately and love it.

Thanks Mom and Dad!!!

However, Caleb quickly learned that his little bike with training wheels, was no match for Mom and Dad's bikes.  He began to get frustrated and really wanted to learn to ride his bike without training wheels.  Since Caleb is so tall, we decided to look for a new bike that would be easier to learn on.

We found this great mountain bike!  Caleb loves it and it is a great mountain bike.  The day after we got it, Caleb and Dad spent about 15 minutes outside working on riding his bike and...........YEAH CALEB CAN RIDE WITHOUT TRAINING WHEELS!

We still have a few things to work on like stopping the bike and getting off with out falling over.

And starting the bike all by himself, but for the most part we are pretty good.  He crashes every once in while, but does really well.

Yeah!!  Way to go Dad!

So fun to see him flying down the street and of course Cooper is right with him.

He has now gone on a few 2 mile bike rides and progresses everyday.  I think I stress out more than anyone when we ride on the streets.  It is hard to watch my baby ride his bike on the road.   I have to ride in front and not watch.  We did have an incident on Saturday where Caleb tried to take a bridge head on.  It didn't work out so good and we almost lost the bike over the edge of the bridge.  But he survived!  Man, growing up is tough!  But so Fun!

Here are a few videos of the bike rider.  I haven't edited them so you get them how they are.  Mom's commentary and everything.
