Wheels

Recently, we've been blessed to have Ed and his three boys over for dinner and visiting. This past weekend Tim was determined to learn to ride his bike.

If you look closely you'll see that Tim is, in fact, balancing on his own. You might also see that he is going slow enough that Ed is having no trouble keeping up with him just by walking. Tim hasn't yet got the concept of applying some real muscle power to get some real speed. He also hasn't figured out that with speed comes greater balance so that when he starts to lose his balance he needs to go faster not slower.

Meanwhile, Jake was scooting down our driveway. Even with training wheels, he doesn't yet trust his bike to hold him up. I actually thought he'd be the first to learn to ride a bike. Camdan is just enjoying the whole scene while sucking on his fist because a thumb just isn't enough.
