Today in History: Firsts by Kelly and Beckett

In an act of fatherly love and despite his tearful protests, I removed Kelly's training wheels last week and forced him to ride his tiny little boy bike like a man. He ended up in the bushes and sprawled out in lawns throughout the neighborhood on the first few rides. I'd say, on ride #3 he got the hang of starting and stopping, the trickiest bits for a novice cyclist. Enjoy the video of Kelly riding during week two of his intensive training program with his overzealous, cycling-nut father. I have not ruined him yet!



Beckett is now walking unassisted across wide open spaces in our home. He has noticeably increased the pace of his unsteady, zombiesque, walking style since this video was shot a few weeks ago.
