We were having a family discussion the other night about riding bikes without training wheels. As a motivation we promised them a new bicycle when they reached the goal. Emily was the first to learn. Remarkable she did it mostly on her own. Courtney picked up the skill shortly after Emily. The thought of a new bike really got them fired up. Benjamin, however, is a different story. I asked him what would get him excited about riding his bike and that we want to put a "carrot" out there to get him motivated. He said, "I don't like carrots. Put a Wii game out there." I'll give him points for honesty!
