Bike ride with Jackie

About two weeks ago Jackie asked me if we could ride our bikes like we did last year. He was more excited because now he has learned to ride without training wheels. I told him that that I didnt have to work on a Friday which was two weeks away and I would take him then. He certainly did not forget, and truth be told, neither did I. He kept reminding me, counting down the days and even added a game of baseball in the cages after bike path so he could practice his t-ball. Well, he's on the go with that bike of his. It's amazing that he had training wheels on just last week and now he's flying around..and I mean flying around the streets.

We started the day by dropping him off at pre school. he was so wound up about our bike trip. I wasn't surprised that when I picked him up from school, all the teachers asked me about where we were going. So off we went and he knew exactly where we were going and where we were going to park. I was kind of worried because last year he tired out after about two miles. Getting back was a bit tiring because he would complain. But that was before he took the training wheels off. He took off and we just kept going...going even farther then i had intended. Once we got into town square we stopped and ate up the peanut butter and marshmallow sandwiches he demanded we make up. Not a problem. It was fun just sitting there with him for the half hour or so and listening to his replay of the bike ride up to that point. He handled the rest of the ride like a pro and was ready to go to the batting cage.

We got into the batting cage when we got home and he would have stayed there for hours had I not pooped out on him.
