James got his bike last year for his birthday. It is probably a size bigger than what he should have. Unfortunately, this has made him very apprehensive. We have experienced a few falls and since he cannot touch the ground, he falls pretty hard. It has taken him a few rides, but he has the hang of it now- brakes and all. Jacob, as I mentioned before, got his bike from Santa. He is motoring. He does not have brakes on his bike. The wheels only turn with the pedals. He can pedal forward and back. We made sure Santa brought the appropriate height so we would not have the same problem that we had with James. James being the faster of the two (for now) likes to pass and cut off his younger brother. I cringe every time that their training wheels are going to get tied and we are going to have a NASCAR collision on our hands.

Bike Ride
We went on our first bike ride today with both boys on bicycles! I am not talking tricycles, I am talking bicycles and they both did great.
