"I'm riding with no trainging wheels!!!"

Monday night we gave the no training wheel bike riding a 3rd try. I told Dylan that he hasn't tried since turning 5, and that convinced him to get on and try again.
When we had tried in the past he wasn't quite brave enough to keep pedaling when daddy let go.
This time it was completely different.
We started in the grass (thank goodness for WONDERFUL neighbors who don't mind bike riding in their grass!!). He kept pedaling the first time!!
After a few minutes in the grass we convinced him to just try it in the street. Sadly we don't have sidewalks, but we don't have a bust street so it works fine. I can't tell you how many times Dylan and Seth went up and down our street all night long.
The longer we were out the there the better he was doing.

After a while they were going down the entire street. With Seth just running along and Dylan doing it all by himself!


I am pretty sure as he passed me this time he said, "How do you like them apples mommy!!"





This still happened, but he got back up every single time!





I was so proud of my little man.

We are now on night 3 and he doesn't need help at all. He gets on his bike and starts on his own. He is getting better at turning around too.





This is just another reminder that my baby boy is no longer a baby. He is really growing up and becoming such a big boy. Makes me sad and so proud at the same time!
