Big boy bike

Last year for Christmas we bought Ambrose a Strider. After a couple of months of feeling it out, he really expressed interest in it, and soon became a wild man, riding around like crazy on it. His balance improved really quickly and we recently noticed that as far as his balance was concerned, he could probably ride a two wheeler. I found a 12inch used bike for 15.00, so for that price, we bought it. John put him on it, and like we thought, his balance was fine, but it was the pedaling that he couldn't get the hang of. John rigged the bike up with the training wheels lifting the back wheel up and Ambrose would pedal it...like a stationary bike (this came at the perfect time because we had 3 day straight where it rained and if this little boy doesn't get some outside time during the day, he is pinging of the walls! I would prop the door the leads to the garage, and he'd pedal in there for AGES! for some reason he LOVED it.  It was fantastic, he was tiring himself out, and we weren't even leaving the house!). Any who, he gets better at pedaling and John tries him on the bike again and he quickly takes off. He's improved quickly and loves riding his big boy bike!
