We were definitely behind on the whole bike riding thing.  It seemed like we kept having children (Macy was born the month before Noah’s 3rd birthday, we lost one, and now Caleb) and our previous homes didn’t have the safest place for kids to ride bikes.  This house is different and we have a nice big cul-de-sac and plenty of bike paths all over the place.  So, we bought all the kids bikes.  Yesterday, I took Noah’s training wheels off and we practiced at the park.  It went pretty good so I let him go on the tennis courts and he took off!  Bike riding seemed to go much better without the training wheels than with them!
