Riding a 2-Wheeler...

Since we had some extra time sitting in hospitals this past weekend, Brad and I got to talking about how Muluken has turned into a little dare devil his bike. He received a new 2-wheel bike with training wheels for his birthday in March. Muluken would ride his bike every day if he could. But, since it had training wheels, the bike gave Muluken a lot of confidence. He was riding with "no hands" down the road and also down the HILL in our yard! He was also trying to "jump" the bike, in which he could get the wheels off the ground.

So on Sunday evening after dinner, Brad went out and took off the training wheels. Muluken went outside and said "oh my goodness" with a laugh. He quickly got his bike helmet and went down to the road with his dad and Noah. I went with the camera and encouragement.

Muluken was all smiles and laughs but couldn't quite get the hang of it. Brad was hanging onto his shirt and making sure he didn't fall into the ditch. Noah was showing him how to balance on his own bike, but then Muluken wanted Noah to ride his bike. Muluken had an idea that his bike was broken and not driveable.

Noah got on Muluken's bike and started riding it down the road. This only got Muluken MORE excited. He quickly ran after Noah and wanted his bike back. Brad took him for a few more trips down the road and then called it a night. Muluken was grinning from ear to ear!
