Will Learns to Ride a Bike

Eliana got a new bike this summer which means that Will was given her old Dora bike (or the Vamanos bike as he called it).  After a bit of practicing, Will really got the hang of pedaling!  At first he had a tendency of steering the bike into whatever direction he was looking.  But that has gotten better.  He also has learned how to use the brake, which is good because while he found running into the van an effective means of stopping, I didn't think that was quite so funny. 
We attempted some family bike rides at the end of the summer in which Eliana and Will would ride their bikes and I would push Laney in the stroller.  We would do pretty well going down the slight hill to the end of the street.  However, when it was time to turn around and head back up the (very slight!) hill to our house, there was usually a lot of me pushing a stroller and a kid on a bike.  I have high hopes for next year though!  We might just make it to the park and back with two kids on bikes!

Look at that big kid! Wearing his Spiderman helmet.
