A first

Brandon and Tayler have been working for 2 years trying to learn to ride their bikes w/o training wheels. Brandon is way more reserved and completely content to ride in comfort with his 2 extra wheels but Tayler has been more daring at times and willing to let me help her take them off for a short time. Our driveway slopes too much so usually we head over to the church parking lot where there's lots of room to ride around. My goal this summer was to get Brandon riding before school started back up. I was really starting to feel like a failure and suggested Jason take them over last night after his YM activity and work with them. 20 minutes later he had them riding. I think it helped that Tayler was more brave and took off first; I think it ignited a fire in Brandon that he couldn't be beat by his little sister. Now instead of them telling me to hold on, they yell to LET GO! I was so happy and it's so much fun to see them accomplish something that they thought was so impossible.
