Riding Bike Without...

Jonathan has mastered how to ride his bike without training wheels.  On Friday, we went around the block with his friends Paxton and Connor and Connor just figured out how to ride his bike without training wheels Easter Sunday.  We rode for awhile in the parking lot together too and I kept asking if Jonathan wanted me to get his bike without training wheels but he said no.  On Saturday, Jonathan teased to go to the parking lot to ride bikes and I said sure but only if we bring your "two-wheeler."  He agreed but said he didn't want any help.  So I watched him continue to get frustrated with trying to start on his own and once he did get going, not go very far because he didn't know how to turn.  I had to get ready for a play we were going to that evening but Brad stayed with him longer and apparently as soon as I left, Jonathan figured it out.  How to start on his own, how to turn, and just go go go!  He told me he was doing crazy 8's on his bike and I told him I didn't believe him.  Today we went over to the parking lot so I could watch and sure enough he has got the hang of bike riding.  Off he went and there was no stopping him.  And as Uncle Jason put it, "He has only one speed [fast]!"  It's going to be a fun summer with Jonathan and his bike.  We are so proud of him!
