Ethan learned how to ride his two-wheeler today without training wheels. We actually started practicing last weekend with this little bike Nonna bought for her grand kids. It's purposefully designed without peddles or training wheels so the kid can learn to coast/balance on his own time. Ethan started out by scooting around our back parking pad and coasting for short distances. Then Jim took him out front so he could practice coasting for longer distances with his feet up.
On Thursday and Friday night, we went up to a church parking lot near our house so he could practice coasting and turning for even longer distances. He did great!
Today, it was time to re-introduce his two-wheeler (sans training wheels) so he could get used to the bigger frame, the peddles, and braking. Jim ran behind him a few times, but he was already a pro at balancing, so it did not take long.
We went up to the parking lot again tonight so he could practice going around in big circles all by himself. He loved it! It was great to see his confidence build as he learned to ride his bike.
What a big kid! Good job Ethan!
