We&#8217;ve been pretty inconsistent with\u00a0practicing, and therefore it&#8217;s taken a lot longer to get him riding solo than it did with his brother. But last weekend we spent a TON of time with him, coaching him as he rode many (only slightly-assisted) laps around his school building. Then last night, John took the boys to Hummingbird park to cement Henry&#8217;s confidence.<\/p>\n<p>Hen, as usual, was a tough customer. He went into the training with his typical &#8220;I can&#8217;t do this, this is too hard, I&#8217;ll never learn how to do it&#8221; attitude, and it took every shred of positivity\u00a0and parental encouragement to get him to believe he could do it. As I ran around the school next to him, I kept chanting &#8220;You can do it! You can do it! You are doing it! Pedal pedal pedal!!&#8221; He asked me to keep it up, and finally, after what seemed like a million laps, I could hear Henry chanting along with me, believing he could do it.<\/p>\n<p>Last night, at the park, Henry&#8217;s self-confidence finally kicked in, and as he rode around the park, he was saying to himself &#8220;<strong>I can do it&#8230;I can do it!<\/strong>&#8221; (which you&#8217;ll hear at the beginning of the video above)<\/p>\n<p>And he DID! We could not be more proud of him, and it makes a mama&#8217;s heart glad to hear her little guy really truly believing in himself. Now, of course, he wants to bike everywhere all the time!!! So the fellas are going out for a ride after Dad-o gets home from work tonight, which I&#8217;m sure is the first of many, many family rides to come!<\/p>\n<p>Update: Alternate techno remix! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"530\" height=\"298\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/x_6Pe-bwh5Q\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our man Henry has finally mastered two-wheeling on his own!
