I really, really wish I had got my camera out and taken some proper photos. Unfortunately, all I have are these few grainy shots taken on my mobile phone.
Suffice to say that on a gorgeous Sydney afternoon, Sam finally taught the boys how to ride their bikes without training wheels. They were very proud of their efforts and I was happy that there were no injuries!
At first, Sam was only going to teach Thomas, thinking that Daniel was too small...but Daniel wouldn't have a bar of that! When I first went out, I spotted Daniel sitting and as he watched Thomas wobble and fall, he called out "Just get back on and keep going". I guess you have to know Daniel to picture how he said it and how cute he sounded <3
The boys also had their first win at soccer yesterday. They both played extremely well, as did all the boys - only one member of the team had played soccer before this year and it has taken them a few weeks to gel, but they are finally starting to play like a team. They won 8-2 with Thomas and Daniel scoring a couple of goals each and we were all pretty excited to see them notch up their first win!
Linking up with The Sporty Mummy for her Active Kids Weekend post :)
How did you all spend your weekend?
I think those photos are fabulous! It's a really special memory to capture :) Good on the boys at soccer...it's great to watch them improve over time. Thanks so much for linking up with active kids weekend :)
ReplyDeleteActually, looking back on them now, the photos aren't too bad for phone shots:)
DeleteWhat?! No Camera.. That's a Crime haha
ReplyDeleteWell Done Boys!! We have been trying to get Harrison up and going 'without' training wheels for weeks. He starts to wobble and that's the end of the bike riding session lol. I will be showing him these pictures tonight ;o)
Lol did you show Harrison the pics? I was surprised Thomas and Daniel got as far as they did...although cant go for very long without toppling over :)
DeleteGreat photos! Such a special moment!
ReplyDeleteThanks Katrina -glad I captured - and I better remember when it's Samuel's turn!
DeleteOh so cute Cathy.
ReplyDeleteThe boys will be stoked to lose the training wheels. We had one get his two wheeler license earlier and the other was so determined to do it too.
Boys are so competitive, especially when close in age (or twins)!
DeleteI love it when the training wheels go - it took a long time for my own to leave when I was a child, I know how exciting it is!
ReplyDeleteThanks Claire. Can't really remember when mine came off many years ago! Don't even know if I could ride a bike these days!
