Steven Without Training Wheels!!

Steven's been asking me to take off his training wheels for a good month now.  I told him once he could ride Christopher's balance bike really well, we'd take them off.  Well he practiced every day for a few weeks and this past weekend while on a family walk he finally impressed Jacob enough for him to take them off.  Jacob took them off and after showing him how to start and stop, he was off!

 Best decision ever to use the training wheels to learn how to pedal and then the balance bike to learn to balance.  He is now a whiz and wants to ride all the time.

 And of course little brother's want to follow suit.

 And now Christopher is a getting the hang of the balance bike thanks to Steven's example.  (Before he liked the tricycle better.)

 Great Job Steven! Dad and I are beyond proud of you and your hard work!!
