Yesterday was an exciting day for Oscar. He is seven years old but never he has never really wanted to learn how to ride a bike. He hated that the pedals didn't go backwards and that they stopped the bike from moving so he just gave up. This summer he watched as all of his friends in the neighborhood rode around on their bikes, and I guess this last weekend was the final straw as he watched the younger girls in our neighborhood finally take off their training wheels and ride around like the big kids.
On Monday he came inside and unbeknownst to me while he was playing outside with the neighborhood kids he taught himself how to ride a bike! No training wheels, just the determination to not be the only kid his age that doesn't know how to ride a bike. We were so proud - and amazed!
Did I mention the fact that I LOVE my neighborhood? The kids are so wonderful and play together so well! They took turns letting Oscar ride their bikes so he could learn. Isn't that sweet? This picture is of Oscar riding Brad's bike, Tammy's Two Cents's son. He has been so nice to let Oscar ride his bike while he rides his sister's. And she has been so nice to let Brad ride hers so Oscar could ride his! I am so grateful that Oscar has such a good friend.
Then Benji just had to get in on the action and today he tried to ride the little bike that we had originally got for Oscar when he was four. So today Benji took his first attempt at riding a bike - with training wheels.
And then Emilio just had to get in on the action and take out his little scooter too! He adores his big brothers and simply must attempt to do whatever it looks like they are doing. Cause if they are doing it, it must be fun!
