Today was a big day! It was no more training wheels day!! We have tried several times for Corbin to ride his bike without training wheels. He just has never seemed quite ready yet. Well, today he was ready! A little before Valentine's Day we got him a Razor (2 wheel scooter). We noticed that he picked it up pretty fast and his balance was improving because he was practicing on his Razor so much. Our neighbor told us that the Razor really helped his son conquer the no training wheel bike. So today, since it was such a beautiful day, we thought we would give it another try. We told Corbin how great he has been doing on his Razor and we think his balance is Awesome! I think that boosted his confidence, because HE wanted to try to ride his bike instead of his Razor. We went to the soccer fields at a nearby park....so it doesn't hurt when you fall. Well....that boy took off and did great. By the end of it...David got a workout trying to keep up with him. Corbin (as were we) was so proud of himself. We got in the car to come back home so I could get some pictures and video and he said, "I knew this was the day!" So here is another example of how my 5 1/2 year old baby is growing up. We are so proud of the hard worker he is and his great attitude today with this milestone. Love ya, bubba!
And he is off.....
We were making such a fuss over Corbin, that Chloe wanted to ride in the street too. Chloe kept saying, "Look at me!!" She is doing great on her little bike and we kept clapping for her because she uses her pedals now! She was a big cheerleader for her brother too!
