So Nick rode his little bike all day yesterday and when Lauren got home she was watching him out front. Suddenly she heard a POP! He busted his back tire! Yes a hole in the tire. I couldn't help but laugh because to hear him explain it he said his shirt blew up his back and it was "weally weally loud"
Daddy and Nick went to the store to find a tire tube and while they were there Nick kept saying "Daddy tell that person" So each person they passed Terry had to say how he is a big boy without training wheels and he busted his tire. Nick would just stand and smile. Each person they told acted like it was such a big deal and would give him a Way To Go and a high five. That has to make a boy feel good.
Last night we decided to put his new little skill to the test and went for a bike ride in our neighborhood. He did great and stayed behind me and in front of daddy. This is great for us because we love to bike ride. We had stopped because he was to big for a bike seat but to small to follow. As we went down the streets every time we passed a person Nick would yell " HEY LOOK AT ME! I AM RIDING WITH NO TRAINING WHEELS!" I would just giggle and smile.
I guess I really get a kick out of this story because people don't have to care but everyone we passed made such a big deal out of him riding. People were clapping, yelling way to go, and smiling at us.
