off with the training wheels

Last week we got Evie a Strider but this blog isn't about that. It's all about Noah and his bike! After Evie got her new bike, he decided he wanted to take the training wheels off of his bike. It might have had something to do with the fact that he's seven now. And that his sister got a bike without pedals or training wheels.

These photos are only the second time Noah had tried riding without the training wheels. Daddy ran him back and fourth across the safe, grassy back yard to catch him and teach him the balance he needed.

And he was doing it so well so fast!

So the next day we headed two blocks down to the park where it's nice and flat and safe and worked on it. He's a pro! He just has to perfect starting and stopping on his own. And a lot more. But he can totally balance well!
