If I wasn't there myself, I wouldn't have believed it. Two-year-olds don't ride bikes all by themselves, without training wheels.
We were visiting my sister. There was a little bike, and Eli wanted to ride it. I only saw the the reasons why not.
"We brought your bike and your scooter, Eli. Ride those."
"The seat's too high on that bike for you, buddy. Maybe next year!"
"Sorry, buddy. You're just too little for that kind of bike."
The boy persisted in the way only toddlers can – with much whining and crying and Oscar-worthy pouting. I persisted, getting more impatient by the minute.
Then daddy comes out, and Eli pleads his case to new ears. Daddy only sees the possibilities. The seat is lowered. A few pointers are given. Daddy runs along behind for a few minutes, and then the boy flies on his own.
That is AMAZING!!! You just never know….but I would have NEVER guessed!! I love it!
I witnesed that miracle. This morning before getting up, I just wrote in my diary notes “A child nearly three years old learned to drive a bike in a while, in just a few minutes”. I`m his mother’s uncle. Alejandro.
I have a four-year-old who can’t ride a tricycle. That is one talented little man you have there! Good for him.
another option for the “meet our deductible” boy!
And sometimes kids are just ready before we are. So cool!
My boy will be 3 in Oct and he can’t get the han gof a trike. WOWZA!!! My 5 year old has zero interest in bikes but could do it if she wanted to. Your boy may be the next Lance!
