Labor day weekend, we took a road trip to Iowa to visit Uncle John, Tita Grace and our newest nephew Iver. John and Grace have two grandsons as well and they are close to Nathan's age. They are pretty amazing on their bikes and are already riding dirt bikes on their own. Well, of course, Nathan came home determined to take his training wheels off. We knew he was ready, but hadn't been looking forward to running behind him over and over and over. We took the advice of my cousin and took his pedals off for a day to let him practice coasting. We put the pedals on the next day and off he went!
He is now riding a bigger bike all over the neighborhood, but this little one was a great start for him. Thank you Gatzkes for leaving your bikes with us! We love having a piece of our dear friends with us when we play outside.
