That same day I took him and his bike to the park. we spent about 15 minutes there trying to get him to ride. His best was about 30 feet before he crashed.
Good try!
Yesterday we went again. This time we spent a good 30 to 40 minutes practicing. Best distance: 300 yards, no crashing.
I'm UP!
Today we went again. Thanks to the heat and humidity we only stayed about 15 minutes again. We worked on learning to turn the bike. He basically ran the bases onf the ball field on his bike, first clockwise then counter clokwise. After that we went over to the basketball court to ride on the pavement. We also practiced using the breaks. Although not 100% successful he did great.
Just a little help!
Afterwards he rode his bike home on the sidewalk. I only had to grab his bike twice to keep him from going off of the curb!
SUPER PROUD!
LAst night was soccer. Logan's team was there in full force. Thier opponents on the other hand only had 5 members show up. That could have been a forfeit. But the Coaches talked about it and as long as 2 memnbers from the Red Ants went over the game would continue.
The coach asked and Logan stood up and said he'd go. We didn't have to tell him or even try to convince him. We had explained to him sometime ago about what would happen if there weren't enough players on a team. We explained to him about what being a good sport was about. None of the other kids were willing to go untill Logan stood up and volunteered. No matter how much we complain that he doesn't seem to listen to us, when he does something like that we feel like we ARE doing a good job of being parents.
