Le Tour De Song Hai Li

Yesterday we took Carter out on his bike without training wheels. He was pretty scared to go on the bike at first but with enough threatening and coaxing and promising of treats he finally gave it a go. All of you have raised children know the routine
1) Ensure the child you are holding on.
2) Hold on as they continually check to see if you are upholding your end of the deal.
3) Let go slightly and grab whenever they check.
4) Run beside not holding at all but pretend you are.
5) Let go completely without faking like you are holding.
6) Watch the inevitable crash when they look back and realize the situation.
7) Make all kinds of promises in order to repeat steps 1 to 6.

Once Carter realized he could do it by himself however I then got curtly instructed to "Go away from me Daddy I can do it myself."

Attaboy!
