Hayden Rides a Bike



This is Hayden at 4 years and 4 months.  He is riding his bicycle that he got for his 4th birthday.  He hadn't gotten many good days to ride it because of all the snowy and cold weather we had up until about a week ago.  After all there was snow on the ground on May 1st and tomorrow on May 14th it is supposed to hit 90 degrees.  He had been riding his balance bike since last summer at 3 1/2 years when we talked him into riding it in the neighborhood 4th of July parade.    He mastered it within a few weeks and was really comfortable.  He has these huge tricycles at school that are one and two person and he loves to race them there.  And he'd learned to peddle with a tiny tricycle when he was just over 2 years old.  But this bicycle came with training wheels that he never saw.  And after practicing for the last month and a half off and on, he got it tonight for the first time.  Sometimes as a parent you try something a little different that what you knew growing up and this was one of those things.  We are so happy for him!  He will definitely be rocking it out at the 4th of July parade this year!  Go Hayden!  We're so proud of you and how brave and talented you are!
