226/365: practice

While Luke napped & Daddy was at work, we brought the monitor outside and got a little practice in on our new bike! It started out great...no complaints about the helmet, eager to hop on the seat, no problem peddling. Sam did great pushing up the street and steering like a champ and then we went back down the cul de sac...it was a bit downhill and Sam's speed picked up and just then he pulled his feet up off the pedals and fell over! No scraps or injuries, but instantly he announces, "I'm done! I want to go inside and watch Curious George!" Looks like he is following in someone's pedals, I mean footsteps! Hopefully more mini practice sessions and Sam will get the hang of it and become more interested in cycling. Thank goodness for practice
