No Training Wheels!

Grant was riding without training wheels at the very end of the fall last year but with our harsh winter he didn't have must time in between to practice and this spring we just started with the training wheels.  However, we convinced him he could do it without and he took right off!  It is always exciting to see your kids conquer things.  He of course wanted me to hold on and not let go (and of course I said I wouldn't but of course did!).  He was riding Elizabeth's old bike because it had the trainers already off.  When Brandon got home he took the training wheels off of Grant's green bike.  He fell right away and he blamed the bike (well after he blamed me - I was 10ft away, but somehow was at fault!).  It has been a struggle to convince him to ride his own bike.  I even got out the tape measure and showed him that they were the same size.  But for now Grant is zooming right along on the polka dot bike with streamers and  a cute basket on the front!

Love that smile!
