Brady's New Trick.

When Brady turned 2 1/2, Uncle Ken and Aunt Peg gave him one of the twin's old bikes. He absolutely LOVED tearing around the neighborhood on that thing. It was the perfect bike for him to learn how to petal, steer, and get the feel of riding a bike. It was getting a little too small, however, so Santa brought Brady a brand new bicycle for Christmas. (The old bike will now be safely tucked away for Landon to use!)

This past week, Wes decided that it was time for Brady to get rid of the training wheels. We tried it once before and he wasn't quite ready. But, Brady seemed up to the challenge this time.

So, off the training wheels came. And around the block Wes and Brady went. By the time they came around the circle, Brady was riding on his own! He needed a little help getting on and off, but over the course of the next week and a few tips from Opa, he was doing really well. He is learning all about the rules of the road, how to stop and start, and he and his daddy have already gone on several long bike rides to Grandma Inge's and back!

We are very proud of our ALMOST FIVE year old! Good job Brady Boy!
