Colby learns to ride a bike.....

Today we went outside to play and I randomly asked Colby if he wanted to try to ride his bike with no training wheels.  He has been asking to try again so I wasn't surprised when he said yes.  My neighbor Amy had given me some pointers on how to help him balance and get him going so that was my plan of action.  Out to the street we went and I stood behind him holding on to his sides to help keep his balance.  Very nervous he decided he wanted to go in our driveway to practice.  About this time Brian and Andrew were outside cheering him on.  Brian came over to help and give Colby a few pointers.  Then before I knew it Brian had Colby out in the street helping and within 10 minutes of Brian coaching Colby was riding all by himself!!  Amy and I were cheering him on with so much excitement! Then about 5 minutes later daddy was driving down the street I pointed at Colby so he would watch him.  Once daddy knew what he was doing he began to beep the horn over and over. 

Colby's smile could light up the night! He was so proud of himself! It's such an awesome feeling to see your kid accomplish something and see the excitement in their eyes!
