We've tried to get Christian to ride is bike, but he had no desire. He always said he'd do it when he's 6.
Part of hiring someone to finish the tile in the bathroom was so John could spend more time with the family - so that's what he did. Yesterday he invited Christian to "work" on his bike. Christian didn't want to because he thought he'd be made to practice riding. I told him Dad was home and just wanted to spend time with him, so go work on your bike together! He agreed and before I knew it, Christian was running in the house saying he was riding his bike. John said he was really just practicing with John holding the bike the whole time, but did a little better than he had in the past. Christian had it in his mind that he would try again on Saturday. So, after lunch he raced outside ready to start riding again. I barely had time to get the video camera as within 10 minutes he was up and riding all on his own!
We are so proud of him! Good job buddy!
No matter much coaxing or prodding we do, it was just all up to him. All it takes is desire!

Good job Christian! And good thought about desire...guess desire and agency go hand in hand. We have enjoyed so much spending time with each of our 7 families this past year and see their growth and desire to CTR.
good job Christian!!!
That's my boy!!! He can do anything once he puts his mind and heart to it. I told him he was a motorcycle rider and started making vrooom vrooom sounds. That go him excited and boom...he was riding on his own. What a champ!!!
