Shane can ride his bike now!
Once again, he cried when I told him he had to try. He wanted a hand brake and training wheels.
"Shane, you do have brakes! They're on the pedals"
And that's all it took. The balance bike practice sans pedals really helped. Shane was able to stay up for 10-15 feet and wonder took over. Shane loved it. I loved it. Amazement lit his demeanor.
"See? If you stick with something, even if it's scary, you get better! Look at you know! You didn't give up!"
Shane showed Raheem later on.
Carrie wanted to see when she got back from checking on Nibs. Shane happily showed her!
Congratulations to Shane! Your perseverance to teach him paid off! Iloved riding bikes as a kid, too.
