Yisrael the biker!

One thing on our to-do list for this Bain Hazmanim was to teach Yisrael how to ride his bike without training wheels. He's been riding with training wheels for a while and we felt it was time to "move on". So Bentzi spent the first few days trying to help Yisrael learn, but he was having a hard time. And then of course we got too busy with Pesach cleaning and didn't have much time to spend helping him ride.

But apparently Yisrael is a very determined little boy, and while we were busy cleaning, he spent HOURS outside, learning how to ride his bike- and he was successful! We didn't even realize that he could ride until Chol Hamoed (as I said, we were busy cleaning!) but when we finally had a chance to go out and watch him, we were shocked to see he could actually ride! (Please don't think I left him out unattended for hours on end- I did keep checking on him, but every time I went out, one of the neighbor's kids was on Yisrael's bike, not him!)

We are very proud of our not-so-little boy- both that he learned how to ride, and that he worked hard at a goal of his and was able to succeed! May he continue to see the fruits of his labor, and may he always show such determination in accomplishing his goals!

Yup, I was an eye-witness to his incredible riding!
