A Little Peer Pressure Never Hurt

Eli's best buddy in Columbus, Luke, learned how to ride a bike with no training wheels last weekend. We showed the video to Eli and he said that he too wanted to ride his bike without training wheels. So, we removed them and about 5 minutes later he was riding. He still needs some work on starting himself, steering while keeping his balance and stopping, but he is staying upright as long as he's going straight. I think the other things will come pretty quickly. Nothing like a little peer pressure to motivate a four year old.

That's awesome! Eli and Luke are so far ahead of Zoe-it will be awhile before our training wheels come off!
