At the beginning of the season, Julia asked for her training wheels again, even though she had learnt to bike without them last year. Kelden, even with training wheels, kept asking me to push him. I was the only mother on the block whose kids needed training wheels. And every other kid could even do all kinds of tricks. The mother of one of Kelden's classmates actually told him not to brag in front of us. That was it. The shame was too much to bear. Something had to be done.
We brought the kids to the church's parking lot. Just one session was enough for Julia to get back on track.
It took longer for Kelden...we practised and practised and practised again, with a proud Julia showing him how it's done..
Until finally, he did it !
You're next Zack !
