I guess we did this concept inadvertent...Cool idea. I guess we did this concept inadvertently. The boys had scooters first, and tore around the place on their scooters for a good year before they got "big boy bikes" last year. They had training wheels for all of two weeks until they were literally a twisted pile of metal and we took them off because they weren't even using them. They already had balance down from scootering first. I never had to "teach" them at all how to scooter or bike really. Granted, the boys are not cautious by any stretch of anyone's imagination.<br /><br />Sophia, however, is MUCH more cautious and has little interest in scooters or biking at the moment. She just likes sitting in her car with her baby doll and watching them. I think she'll be a different ball game. We might have to try this method with her and I'll probably need to actually "teach" her how to do it.Daniellehttp://www.danielleayersjones.comnoreply@blogger.com
