"Are you ready to take the training wheels off yet?"
Friday afternoon Josh surprised us and said, "Yes!"
It was a very hot, very humid afternoon.
And it was sprinkling.
But, as Paul says, when the courage is there...go with it!
Now!
And off come the training wheels!
"Ready to hop on, Buddy?"
You can see in the next few pictures Paul giving Josh careful instruction and advice. I've never been close enough before to hear Paul teach the kids how to ride a bike.
He doesn't think he's patient...but he is.
He doesn't see that what he says is any big deal...but it is.
He doesn't think that what he does is all that special...but it is.
And look at the smile on his face as he watches his third trainee take to the driveway with no training wheels!
Not to mention the look of accomplishment on this precious face!
Paul told Josh on Friday afternoon that all he needed was lots of practice, so...with sweat soaking his hair and dripping down his face, he practiced and practiced after the rain on Saturday afternoon. By the time Carrie and William arrived home from camp on Sunday, he looked as if he had been riding for years.
A noble man with his trusty steed...
And here is what lot of practice will get you...
What's that, Matty?
Is it your turn?!
"Peeeeeese?"
Alright, Matty.
You can have a turn with Daddy now.
Enjoying the Journey,
