Perfectionist part 1

Joshua, age 4, has always had "Monkish" qualities about him.  These qualities have been frustrations as well as blessings in his life.  For example:  Frustrating when he will not learn to read until he knows he can do it perfectly.  Blessing when he toilet trains in 2 - 3 days because he hates being wet.  Well, the other day he found that he could ride a bike without training wheels, so we took them off and he tried, BUT he couldn't do it perfectl
y so now refuses to ride his bike at all.  I think we will put the training wheels back on and wait until perfection can exist.    (Michael was so cute helping him--what a great big brother!)

THanks for the pictures. It looks to me like Joshua can ride a two-wheeler!
