Mike showing Adam how to balance properly when beginning to ride. This could explain why he fell off of his bike so much on his mission. Just sayin'. ;)Back in January, Adam's class made New Year's Resolutions.
His was to learn how to ride a bike without training wheels.
He had actually been riding a bike without training wheels for a while. The training wheels were so bent, that they really didn't touch the ground. He wanted to make it official, however. So, last March I took them off and told him to go for it.
He tried. And fell. And tried. And fell.
Over and over.
I knew he could do it, but he wasn't confident enough.
So, he put the bike away for a while.
Last week, he decided to try it again.
And today*?

We are so proud of him!
*Yeah, we let our kids play outside on Sunday, people. It's called appreciating the beautiful world that we've been blessed with.
It also allows us to keep the 6th commandment. If all of us were stuck in our small apartment all day long, someone would surely be killed.
