Riding Bikes

It actually happened...Gabe is riding his bike without training
wheels. It's a pretty funny story too. He was forced into it when his
training wheels were stolen by a neighborhood boy. Since then, Gabe
hasn't ridden his bike. He kept saying he needed a new bike with
training wheels. So yesterday, the same boy who stole the training
wheels taught him how to ride his bike without them! No lie. He showed
him how to push off, then he ran with him pushing from behind, and
showed him how to stop. Gabe was so proud of himself! And if you're
wondering about the boy, he is the sweetest, most respectful, and
helpful one of them all. That's why I still let him around. Just when
I want to throw in the towel with them, Gabe reminds me that we are
here to teach them. And occationally they teach us stuff too.
