My baby on 2 wheels instead of 4

When we returned from Vegas we taught Austin to ride his bike without training wheels. He's loving it! Rich and I feel like pro's and have down the perfect system for teaching kids this. It's the grass! If you teach them on flat short grass they're not as afraid to try because they know it wont hurt if they fall. Once they do the grass 2 or 3 times they all of a sudden develop a confidence in themselves that makes them think they're ready to go. Then we move on to smooth ground that's long as in the track at the high school behind our house. This is where we were in the movie and boy does our method work. Redden picked up starting on his own better than Austin did. Right now we've taught Austin to curb start and then get up on the sidewalk. It's so fun to watch him. Because he's so little, it's hilarious to see this tiny little thing riding on 2 wheels out of control. He gets lots of smiles and people cheering him on in the neighborhood. For those of you who don't see Austin in person or on a regular basis. I'll give you an idea of how small he is. His 5th birthday is in October and we're still trying to get him to weigh more than 36 lbs to get him out of his 5 point harness carseat. In the state of Oregon your kid has to be 40 lbs to move to a booster with the regular seatbelt. Poor kid...we weighed him yesterday and he was up to 37 lbs. Yahoo!!!! He's such a little runt. Cute though. I think if he doesn't weigh 40 lbs by the time he starts kindergarten we'll move him out of it just as a courtesy to him....hahaha.
