Summer Goals

We can check one thing off our summer goals list!  Rylan has learned to ride a bike!

Rylan has refused to learn for years.  He has had no interest.  But I also know his personality and know that his perfectionism has prevented him from trying.  Rylan does not like to fail (or even be less than perfect).  So he refused to try because he knew he couldn't just get on a bike and do it perfectly immediately.  Plus he feared anyone seeing him learning and being anything less than perfect.

But for some reason this morning he said he wanted to do it.  So after convincing him that all the kids on our street were at camps or daycare, he and I got to it.  It took less than 30 minutes and now he can do this ...
