Can I go ride my bike?

There are somethings that my kids are great at, but there are a few things that all four of them have been a little slower than normal at. I will admit that many of these things fall under the category "lazy parenting", they include potty training, shoe tying and bike riding. Well, with the latter two Brett has always told us that he "knows" how to do them, he just pulls the loop too far or can't keep his balance well enough. So, recently he has been convinced to go beyond the theory of shoe tying and bike riding and give them a serious try. He still gets a little frustrated with the shoe laces, but he can do it. As for the bike riding, for a long time he was content with his scooter. Finally, Ty and then Dave got out with him and didn't let him give up. And now, it is the only thing he wants to do. In the morning he wants to get ready in time to ride while he is waiting for the bus and on the way home he talks about how fast he will get his homework done so that he can go ride his bike. He is a boy obsessed, and having a great time!
