Hooray!

My little boy is getting all grown up and riding a bike!! I don't know who's more excited, me or Lukas. He is a very cautious little boy so this took some patience. After attempting the Mom or Dad hold the bike seat approach, I did some research and saw a suggestion to lower the seat and take the pedals off while he learned to balance. He loved that he could do it by himself and picked it up quick. This afternoon, I asked him if he wanted to try it with the pedals and after hesitating decided he did want to. He hopped on and could totally do it. I sure love him! And in true DeWitt fashion, he is celebrating by spending the rest of the day playing LEGO Harry Potter - what we used to bribe him to learn to ride his bike. I have feeling I'll be outside watching him ride every day for a long time to come.
Oh, and the video is directed at Daddy because he's working at the hospital today.
Sorry you missed it, Babe.
