Aspen's New Love


(Yes, this is the same bike he got for his 3rd birthday. It is a little small for him now, but it works. He has another birthday coming up, you know!)

Yep, you guessed it. Bike riding. Aspen finally learned how to ride without training wheels this week! Yes, I know it is kind of late, but to his defense, we live on a killer hill. There has been very little chance for him to practice riding
because it is such an event to take it to the park, talk him into riding it, etc.

This summer, we have been taking his bike to the beach and he has finally been able to get some practice in. Mark had the idea to take his training wheels off, and teach Aspen how to ride the bike in the backyard. Genius, I say!

As soon as Aspen hopped on, he was riding. The look of complete exhilaration and pride on his face was unforgettable. Of course my camera batteries were dead, but we were all out there, cheering him on. He is SO proud of himself, and I love seeing the pride of accomplishment on his face.

Sweet, W2G Aspen!! Sorry about the forhead wound. Ava got a BAD one last week too. I'm going to post it soon. It's pretty brutal. I hope he's feeling better :)
