So Long 2012 - So Long Training Wheels!

 Titus decided to celebrate the last day of the year by having Chris remove his training wheels.  As you can tell by this short video, he was ready to ride.


This may appear like a sudden change but with Titus that's typical.  He walks to the beat of his own drummer.  Titus only does what Titus wants when Titus wants to and as a parent that means our job is to make him "want" to do what we want him to do.  Trust us, nothing else works and I'm glad it doesn't.  In the end its always been our goal to have the boys want to do the right thing because they want to, not to gain reward or avoid punishment.  Titus being Titus forces us to be better parents.

I love my little farmer boy!

UPDATE:  Then when we went to Sea World on New Years Day he decided he wanted to ride a roller coaster.  So he and I went on his first kiddie roller coaster.  Not sure what he thought.  He echoed my "whoo-hoos" but not very enthusiastically and he didn't ask to ride again :-P  BTW New Years Day is a great day to go its really empty.
