This has been on the way for a long time. We knew Jalen was capable of riding his bike without training wheels since last summer, but the only problem was that he didn't know it. He was completely convinced that he couldn't do it! He would tell us that repeatedly every time we mentioned riding bike. About 2 months ago, I took his training wheels off, so that he had no option, but to learn to ride with out training wheels, but he did the unexpected. He refused to ride bike for the past two months. He used a scooter, or a toddler trike, but would not even attempt his regular bike. So finally we were on a family walk, and Justin and I decided we would just let him know that there was no longer an option. 15 minutes everyday we would practice riding his bike. So July 1st, at 8:00 pm was his first time. July 1st at 8:10pm, he was riding on his own, with one of us running along side him. At 8:15 pm, he looked at Justin and said, "This is fun!" He is so proud of himself. He loves it. So for the past three days, all he has wanted to do is go for bike rides. I love it!!!!!!
