When Tyler was in Kindergarten we would pack everyone into the car with all the bikes, drive to a safe location and spend hour after hour, and day after day patiently(and sometimes not so patiently) teaching Tyler the tricks of the trade. He had elbow pads, knee pads, gloves, and a helmet which we made sure were securely in place before he made each attempt. I've been watching Kyle ride his RAZOR the past few weeks and thought to myself that he was ready to learn to ride a bike. I didn't think it would take long as the RAZOR requires the whole 'balance' technique. However, I just kept putting it off. Imagine our surprise when Tyler came running into the house today saying Kyle was riding a bike. In disbelief Monty and I went out to find Kyle(with no helmet) as confident as can be riding a bike!! We quickly told him to put on a helmet and then clapped and said to each other..."Gotta love Kyle!" Great job buddy!! (Thanks for rescuing me from the guilt of not teaching you!)

Way to go, Kyle! Sophie did the same thing. Isn't it nice when our kids can take care of themselves? Ahh, nothing like getting out of parent duty! Makes me wonder what your next 2 kids will come up with on their own :)
You are off the hook this time. That is so great. I've never heard of a kid doing that. Way to go Kyle.
LOVE it!
Okay...can you please tell my husband that helmets are important? He says our kids don't need them!
way to go Kyle! His going to have so much fun on that bike.
How come that doesn't surprise me? What a guy!
