Oh what a day!

So, as you saw, N got himself a Lightning McQueen, big boy bike for Christmas from his G and G. On New Years Day, we went over to Grancy's to put it together and try it out down in the garage. I have to say, definitely one of my top moments so far in parenting! I don't know who was more proud....me, S, little M, Grancy, or N himself. We all were so excited. Way to go N! Such a big boy!

N's Uncle J gave him a two-wheel bike, called a Strider, awhile back that had no pedals, but no training wheels. The theory was that he would learn to balance on this by propelling it with his feet and then gliding. Then, he would never need training wheels when he got a big bike. I definitely had my doubts on this theory, but as it turns out, it works! It really took N only moments to catch on to the general idea of pedaling while balancing. Don't get me wrong, there were some crashes, but overall, he did so well! It is without a doubt his favorite thing to do these days.

All put together....just shaking with anticipation!

Dad, giving him a push

And he's off!

Loving life right now! He had this grin on the whole time.

N's cheerleader. She would clap her hands and yell "yay!" as he rode by.

What a way to start the year! Wahoo!
