No More Training Wheels!

A few months ago, Aidan talked Don into removing the training wheels from his bike. He was ready to prove he was a big boy and ride without them. Well, that didn't work out too well and it's been several months since Aidan has been on his bike.

So tonight, Aidan wanted to give it another try. Lo and behold... he did it! It was hilarious to watch his expression and see how nervous he was riding around in concentric circles... obviously anticipating the unknown controlability of his first stop. I'll admit... I was holding my breath a little. But, that went perfectly as well.

All the while, Brendan ricketted around on his bike with training wheels. Once he saw how quickly and easily his big brother mastered the skill of riding a bike on just two wheels, HE wanted to give it a shot, TOO! So, out come the tools. Off come the training wheels from Brendan's bike. And, once again, I was completely amazed at how quickly my little guys grow up. Right before my very eyes, they've developed a new-found freedom. One that I thoroughly enjoyed growing up!

CONGRATULATIONS to my awesome little guys! I AM SO PROUD OF THEM BOTH!!!
