This will forever be remembered as the summer that JDaniel learned to ride a bike. He had loved sailing down the street on four wheels multiple times a day for the last several months. I think he found comfort is riding his bike with training wheels even after I started lifting them off the ground. After his rides and my walks following him riding around our neighborhood, we would head in and have snack of a frozen yogurt Go-Gurt® tube from Yoplait or a cup of Trix cereal yogurt in a cup from Walmart. We both needed a little something after going up and down all the cul-de-sacs in our neighborhood.

Then one night while I was running behind his bike one of the training wheels fell off. The nut holding the wheel in place must have come off and we didn’t notice it. There I stood in the middle of the street holding a training wheel as JDaniel pedaled down the street. The remaining training wheel was sticking straight out horizontal with the road. (Just where I had moved it earlier in the week.)

“Do you know that you are riding without wheels down?” I called to him. “No,” he replied and kept on riding. All of a sudden he knew just what he needed to do to ride his bike.

Then next day I decided that we needed to make something to celebrate his freedom to ride without wheels. I reached in the fridge and grabbed a cup of cherry orchard, a cup of mountain blueberry, a cup of  french vanilla Yoplait yogurt and some blueberries. JDaniel and I used them to make really delicious freedom frozen yogurt popsicles.

Let me walk you through the steps we used to make our frozen yogurt freedom pops.

One teaspoon of cherry orchard yogurt was placed in each of the molds.Then a small hand full of blueberries was added on top of the cherry orchard yogurt.

A layer made of one teaspoon of french vanilla yogurt was added on top of the berries.

Finally a layer of mountain blueberry yogurt was added.

Hint: We didn’t not fill the popsicle molds to the top. We both knew that liquids expand when they are frozen. The yogurt would expand and the stick section of the mold might be pushed up.

The yogurt popsicles were given a while to freeze. I think they were in the freezer for about an hour and half.

Hint:

When they were frozen, it was time to dip the mold in warm water to loosen the popsicles. When they were out of the mold it was time to celebrate this new stage in this life as a bike rider with our frozen yogurt popsicles.

I love the idea of serving my son a wholesome snack! These yummy yogurt popsicles might even be fun to have for breakfast on a hot summer morning. I bet my son would love that.
