Three Years and Two Wheels

I taught Josh how to ride a bike today—no training wheels. I ran behind him, steadied his shoulders, and after he got the feel of it, let him go. He rode around the block while I ran beside him, cheering him on. To celebrate we decided to get some ice-cream. He didn’t want to get in the car; he wanted to ride his bike. So we rode our bikes. On the way he saw a park with a few dirt jumps and wanted to roll over them. So he did. Then we rode over to Sonics and enjoyed a large Snickers shake while he sat on my lap and thanked me for teaching him how to ride his “bike with two tires and no training wheels.” Finally we rode home.
