The Laughing Biker

We started him on a wooden glider. The "skoot." He'd weave around on the playground like a darting fish in water. So when we put him on the pedal bike, his balance was already there. I just pushed once and he was off. But the best part? He laughed. He laughed as he rode for the first time. Pure laughing joy that I will never forget.
