Go Diego Go!

Alec has made great progress in the biking arena after only a few days of pulling it out of the basement. 

Sometime I have to laugh at the ineptness of my (our) parenting. As you may recall Alec was not so psyched for his bike once we put it together just after Christmas and if you don’t remember then just click this link bike post.  He struggled off and on throughout the winter in the basement riding the bike. This kind of perplexed us. We thought maybe there was something wrong with the bike- why was it so difficult for him to get it going. Why was he struggling? He’s in great shape- this should be a no problem. But it was.

When I brought it up from the basement last weekend  I noticed that the tires felt pretty flat. Very flat. 

Duh.

Major DUH.

Erik pumped up those tires and Alec hasn’t looked back!

He’s still getting comfortable with the speed factor when going down inclines but he was mastered the brakes pretty well so it’s just a matter of time before he is flying.  I can’t wait to see it! And the funniest part (IMHO of course) is that it is a Diego bike and he sings “Go Diego Go” as loud as he can as he pedals down the sidewalk.  I’m sure our neighbors are thrilled.
