So with the sunshing and the feel of spring in the air....I did IT! I offered to teach my brave 6 year old how to ride her bike without training wheels. WHAT WAS I THINKING!?
So the whole moment felt right: Training wheels off....CHECK! Helmut on.....CHECK! Knee pad and Elbow pad positioned....CHECK! We took a few quick spins in the garage and all felt great! So headed out onto the street!
With my hand positioned on the back of the seat and my encouraging words shouting "PEDDAL...PEDDAL...PEDDAL! We took off...I let go....Panic sets in a down come the feet! Next I get encouraging words from the 6 year old "DON'T LET GO!"
Round 2....back up the street we repeat the steps above!
Round 3.....Not discouraged we attempt this crap again! NO SUCH LUCK! I am getting frustrated and she is getting frustrated. I am getting a backache and tired and she is getting mad! I offer a "let's stop clause" and tell her we will try again later!
Round 4....Okay so not really even a round! 6 year old tries to coax me out behind her bike again and I decline! I am done......I have washed my hands of this task! She can have her daddy teach her how to ride a bike! Those will be great memories that she will have of her daddy teaching her to ride a bike! I don't need her to have memories of me screaching like a howler monkey!
Some things are just best left for daddies to do!
