Aiden Riding his Balance Bike

For Aiden's 3rd Birthday Grandma and Papa bought him a super cool green balance bike.  A balance bike is a bike specifically designed for children ages 1-3 for the purpose of learning to control their balance in a safe way.  A balance bike resembles a regular adult bicycle because it has only two wheels and no training wheels.  There are also no pedals.  The child pushes with their feet to create momentum and stops/ maintains balance by putting their feet on the ground.

Aiden and a slow start as he felt a little insecure, but now he rides super fast with his legs flying out to the side not toughing the ground.  He rides around our block, to the park, and on the street outside our house.  He especially loves to go down the slope of our driveway to pick up speed!
