May 9, 2010: 2-wheeling on Mom's Day

Dad and the kids got out of the house to let mom take a well-deserved nap on mother's day.  L is a little to big for a balance bike, but the kid needs to lose the training wheels, so I improvised.  I pulled off the training wheels and put a pad on his frame so he could sit low enough to easily touch the ground with his feet.  That wasn't enough, so I removed the pedals.  That did the trick.  After an hour or so, he was scooting around confidently and coasting 5 or 6 feet at a time.  If the kid could just do that every day for a week, he'd probably be able to pedal away on two wheels like a pro.
