No training wheels

So it seems that bike riding without training wheels is just like potty training. If you just wait until they are ready it goes soooo much better!! Patience is so hard to come by as a parent sometimes. I'm always saying how I don't want them to grow so fast yet I'm always pushing them to do grown-up things...hurry up tie your shoes, ride your bike, learn to read on your own, get dressed, take your own shower...man what a hypocrite I am sometimes...

I've tried to get Justin to ride without training wheels several times and it was always a lost cause because his heart wasn't in it. If only I would have waited...

On Monday afternoon we were cleaning out the garage and the boys were riding their bikes...still with training wheels. William came into the garage and announced that he was ready to ride without them. Justin not to be outdone by his little brother accepted the challenge a few minutes later.

Ted and I huffed and puffed running beside them up and down the street for a while.

Tuesday night I came home from work and they had mastered it!!

Wednesday I came home for lunch to an empty house...where were they...at the bike park!:) William was so excited to tell me that he rode the whole loop with no training wheels!!
