Connor Learning to Ride a Bike-Large

This is a slideshow I made showing Connor learning to ride his bike last weekend. I know that it looks like he has training wheels on the bike, but they don't touch the ground. Chris tried to move them from his older small bike to this one and they are too small for this bike. So instead of searching for new training wheels, we decided we would teach him to ride his bike. And we forgot to take off the training wheels before we went to the park.

We went to the same park that we taught Spencer. I always think it is easier to learn to ride in the grass at first. That way if you fall, at least the ground is a little softer to fall on. This park does have a paved trail around it too, so once he got the balance thing a little bit, we moved him to the trail to give it a go.

These pictures were taken last Saturday. We went back on Sunday and I took a video that day. It takes me a while to figure out how to get a video loaded on here and I haven't had the time to do it. That day we had taken the faux training wheels off and he did even better. I hope to get the video on here in the next couple of days.

And I made this little slide show on my new Mac. I'm having so much fun learning everything on this and I'm really glad that I signed up to take the one on one classes. There are so many cool things you can do here with photos and videos and I can't wait until I really get the hang of it!

Thanks again for visiting me!!!
