Riding into Spring!

So apparently even though Gavin hasn't touched his bike (you know, the real bike with pedals and a brake - not his Strider balance bike) in at least 4 months, maybe even closer to 5 since we had such a cold and snowy winter that went on forever, he is now able to ride while pedaling, steering, and braking. I am completely shocked, even though I know I shouldn't be, by how he seems to have been able to put it all together with very minimal help from Scott Sunday evening. It is amazing to watch him riding and so enjoyable to watch how excited and proud he is that he is doing it all by himself. I knew he could do it and we decided to go with the 16 inch because we knew it would fit him better in the Spring than the Fall, but it is still so amazing to watch. Once he decides he is ready to do something, he does. He never ceases to amaze me. He looks so cute on his bike too. He seems to big to me in so many ways and yet because his bike is still technically a bit big, he looks so little and the bike looks huge!

Off he goes!

Gavin is really enjoying his new found freedom as well and I look forward to many bike ride at home and on the rail trails!
