And the wheels are off
Aidan asked us on Monday if we could take the training wheels off his bike. All the boys in the neighborhood have been riding without them and he also found out that a GIRL in our branch started without them too. So he knew he had to get going on it. It was probably more us holding him back than anything. Ryan took them off and away he went. He has done great. It is just the stopping that is hard. His dismounts off the bike are, uh, a little, shall we say, creative. He now HAS to wear his helmet and elbow guards. It is amazing to his determination to keep trying and mastering the skill. We have had some close calls but no crying yet.

Great job AIDAN !!! It's so fun to conquor such a grown up thing.
Way to go Aidan!! It's a whole new world without training wheels...like going to kindergarten, going to college, going on a mission..getting married...having a child. The whole thing can be boiled down to the first day you take off the training wheels. Away you go. Love, Grandma Carter
