Caleb's New Bike and Learning To Ride It

We had talked about buying Caleb a new bike, after we noticed how much he liked riding at Jud and Marsie's house. Since, he'll be spending more and more time with us, we figured he should have a bike of his own at Daddy and Shell's house. Also, we happened to see that Aelia just got one, so we just had to do it. Next time Caleb and Aelia get together, they can ride together. They'll both be pros. It will be great! We got it home, Daddy put it together and Caleb was very excited to try it out. It took a little while, as a matter of fact there were a couple of moments where we decided we should do something else for a bit and try again later. He wanted so bad to do it himself, but when he couldn't and we tried to help, he got mad. He didn't give up though! After a few tantrums of frustration, he did it. He learned how to go downhill first and use his brakes, then came the going forward. Once he got the hang of it, he didn't want to do anything else. He loved it, he was so proud of himself. It was great to see David teaching him, how to ride his first big boy bicycle!!! A nice Father and son bonding day. It was very rewarding for both of us!
