Today Ryan came over announcing that his dad had put his training wheels back on his bike because he just couldn't ride without. He asked if we could go outside and ride bikes. In our house there is no going back and there was also a kick stand installation at stake, so Thomas got out there and gave it a try. We did have a few embarrassing scenes which mainly involved shouting at me in plain sight, but when he calmed down and finally listened, something amazing happened...he could ride! When Spense got home Thomas gave him a little demo and then got his kick stand, and now he asks to go out there whenever he has the chance.

Well done Thomas!!! It's SO hard to learn to ride your bike without the stablelizers on the back. I remember many nights of frustration and crying too...oh and the odd grazed knee or two. My 1st bike was red and called "Poppy." I remember a bike your Mum had which was green. What was that called Nadia?? The good thing is you'll never forget how to ride your bike again and I'm sure will come in handy for your missionary days - you're so advanced! We love you! xx
Wow - well done Thomas!! I loved watching the video clip Nad, you have a lovely quiet street to play on!
WOO HOO Thomas! Great Job! We are so proud of you,
Love aunt amy and the family
The little Thomas I had in preschool is riding a bike! I can't believe how big he's gotten, and he's really good at it too! Way to go Thomas!!
