Kaatlin & Nathanael

Nathanael and Kaatlin have FINALLY learned to ride the bikes without the training wheels. As parents Chris and I should be a little ashamed that we just didn't give them many opportunities to learn, but over the last month Chris has been a wonderful dad, sacrificing the precious little free time he has at home to helping them figure out what it means to balance. Both the kids were a little doubtful they could do it but they soon gained in confidence. I also think that having Nathanael figure out the 2-wheeler before Kaatlin was some serious motivation for her, she can't have her little brother beat her. Neither one is perfect yet but they are having lots of fun riding around and getting the mail with Dad down the street.
