Uncle Daniel

Tyler has been obsessed with skateboarding ever since Christmas. Why? Two words: Uncle Daniel! Tyler was watching Daniel skateboard at Christmas and wanted to try. So Daniel had him stand on the board and held Tyler's hands as he walked him up and down our street, over and over and over again! Ever since then Tyler has loved skateboards. He is always pretending he's skateboarding. During the summer he would even stand side-ways before jumping in the pool because he was jumping from his 'skateboard'. When he saw Daniel for the first time this trip his first words were, "Daniel! Go skateboarding!" Well Daniel somehow convinced my parents to let him build a ramp in their garage. Where do you think Tyler wanted to go every day? Yeah, we spent a lot of time in the garage! Plus he loved wearing that helmet!








It's much easier without wheels!


This is what we did in the garage! The person lucky enough to be chosen to go with Tyler got to sit on one side of the ramp and push him, kind of like swinging. As Tyler got braver he would ask to be pushed faster so he could go to the top of the ramp! Who wouldn't love skateboarding if your the one sitting on the board!?!

D! I'm so proud of your blogging skills! I love seeing the pictures and reading the fun stories you have to go along with them! Sounds like you're doing great! When Tyler gets the hang of things, I want him to teach me how to skateboard! I've always wanted to learn!
