For my son Jaden’s 6th birthday we got him what all young boys want…a new 16″ bike and helmet. With the prospect of being the youngest Lash child to learn how to ride a big bike – we got after it.  He didn’t know what to think after we took off the training wheels. In his mind he wasn’t ready.  But like all good parents, we knew he could do it…so we were persistent.  And then one day after expressing a bad attitude, I gave him a nice push and he was off and riding all on his own.

Sometimes all we need is  a little push to get us going.  Who is someone you can give a little encouraging push to?

Way to go Jaden!!  In our family at least…Amy is the potty trainer and I am the bike riding trainer.  I like it that way, even though Amy has been trying to convince me otherwise!
