Finally!!!

I really was worried about if my son ever would learn how to ride his bike or not... He has got no patience and have been screaming, giving up... walked away from the bike... called us names... refused to practice... (he has got Aspergers disorder)

Last year and the year before we tried, tried and tried to teach him how to do it. Because of him having a little bit of trouble coordinating his mobility... he had a hard time with this. His sister didn't get the attention she needed to learn... Because of her brother being so difficult to handle.
But now... and I must say I'm proud of my hubby, putting up with our sons behaviour... they both know how to ride a bike. At the same day!!!! Our son- seeing his sister riding her bike made him try harder... and off he went!!! Yesterday- both kids learned how to ride a bike
I'm so happy for both of them and my hubby!
But most of all I'm amazed and so reliefed about my son learning this. Two years ago his mobility was much worse.... I trained him every day at home... tough work... I can tell you! I'm so glad I worked so hard with him! This is a great reward, seeing him outside riding his bike! They are both outside with their bikes right now, by the way.

(((((((((((((( son & daughter & hubby )))))))))))))
Yesterday- both kids learned how to ride a bike Yesterday- both kids learned how to ride a bike Yesterday- both kids learned how to ride a bike Yesterday- both kids learned how to ride a bike

I needed this to happen... we all did! Sigh... Yesterday- both kids learned how to ride a bike

When the training wheels were taken of my bike, I never got back on again!

What a wonderful achievement. I am so happy for you and your family!
