The Training Wheels Are Off

Hidden in the back of Gramma's garage has been a bike. When she recently cleaned it out, she said it would be better for us to have at our house for Kyler. He really wanted to ride it, but it is a little big, and more importantly does not have training wheels on it. So I know we are a bit behind the curve on this one, but last Saturday was the day Kyler said he was going to learn how to really ride a bike. We tried one wheel for a few minutes and then just decided to go for it! He was riding back and forth in front of Grammy and Granddaddy's for a bit, when Grammy decided to help him all the way around the block. It took a while for them to reappear, but he was doing well. It was then time to go for broke. We took him out to the dead end and let him go. It was amazing! He did sooooo great. He didn't fall once, was able to correct himself and balance, and just kept going around and around! In the span of a half an hour, he went from four wheels to just two. I was so proud of his determination and his beaming smile just says it all.
