This week has been crazy warm and we've had a lot of fun playing outside. Aidan is taking more risks every day on his balance bike. He loves cruising down the hill in front of our house, the hill in our front yard and taking it off the front step. Today he declared that he wanted to "ride a balance bike with pedals". I told him we needed to wait for Dad to get home so he didn't miss out. He was happy with that idea. So we spent the day riding the balance bike.
When Dad got home we ate dinner and got out the toolbox. Aidan loved helping with this part.
Add in a quick 20 minute lesson and he was off and riding!
He was nervous at first but did really well. He still isn't sure about breaking by pedalling backwards but he slows himself down and then puts his feet down. This is quite the adventure and it's so exciting that at 3 years, 10 months he is riding a two wheeler all by himself! Go, Aidan, go!
