Coker and I have said to one another repeatedly, "We've got to get TJ riding a bike." Or, "Let's take the training wheels off TJ's bike." TJ just didn't have any interest and that made it difficult for us to be interested. We knew one method for bicycle riding: hold the bike up and run along side of the kid until he "gets the hang of it."
Thank you, Cousin Scott! He knows a better recipe for teaching a kid to ride a bike. Here it is:
3 shiny new bicycles
large muddy water holes on a country lane
1 big brother who can ride
1 cousin of the same age who can ride
Mix and let rise.
Scott and Aunt Sharon went around back to the barn for the hot wheel four wheeler when TJ admitted he couldn't ride a bicycle. When they looked up, he had grabbed the third bike off the porch and was splashing through the puddles on it! Aunt Sharon was kind enough to make a video for me to watch.
When we got home, Coker took the training wheels off TJ's bike and he's ridden it several times.
