Theo - Officially On The Bike

I think Theo has been learning to ride his bike for about a year. He shows a bit of interest and then none so it has taken a long time, but over spring break we cracked the nut. Here is a video of him succeeding:

Right after this, he started to be braver and attempted to go down the hill of our cul de sac and try to make the turn. The first time he tried he went straight into the curb and over the handle bars. He landed in the grass and to his credit he got up and wanted to try straight away again.

On his second attempt it became clear to him that the same outcome was coming true again - instead of trying to correct it and turn, he just started yelling 'Oh no! Not Again!' as he soared over the handle bars and into the grass again. It was priceless. A neighbor boy was standing around and was polite enough to not start laughing until he knew Theo was okay. I am afraid I cannot say the same for the rest of us. I so wish I had it on video!
