Patrick has come far with his bike in just a week or so! He can now get the bike going on his own and doesn’t do his frustration scream when he’s stuck. I love how it’s becoming second nature. Notice how even when he’s distracted, he still can get going and pedal without too much thought. 🙂 I also love his interaction at the end of the clip. His head gets cut off in the editing to widescreen, but you can still hear his adorable voice when he talks to his brother. He’s still working on braking. As soon as he figures out how to do the brakes intentionally, he’ll be allowed to go on the driveway (it slants and bikes quickly get out of control on beginners!).

And here he is with his roller skates. He was giving himself a little hop and rolling down the driveway. I couldn’t get him to do it for the camera, but again, he sure is cute trying! 🙂
