No More Training Wheels

Nathan leaned how to ride a bike today!! We are officially done with training wheels at our house!.  It happened almost like it did for Kayla.  A few months ago, I took the training wheels off his bike because he thought he could do it.  Like her, that didn’t last long and the training wheels went right back on.  In the last couple of days, he has figured out how to ride Kayla’s scooter and he was doing great.  Since the same skills are used in riding a bike, I decided to take the training wheels off again and give it another shot.  I ran with him down the driveway and back again 2 times and that was it.  It took him 2 minutes to figure it out.  I literally spent a grand total of about 4 minutes teaching my kids how to ride a bike.  I almost feel like I got jipped!  He was so proud to be able to do it and I was in the middle of the driveway cheering like crazy (if any neighbors were home, they probably think I’m an idiot).
