"No more training wheels!"

Ever since we moved to our new house, Noah has been asking us to take the training wheels off of his bike. So, at the beginning of this month, Doug did just that and taught Noah to ride his bike without training wheels. Doug spent about 5 minutes with him before he got the hang of it and could ride all by himself! FIVE MINUTES! I was amazed that he caught on so easily! He was a little wobbly at first when he knew that people were watching him, but now he doesn't get bothered by that. The hard part was teaching him to start and stop by himself, but after a few weeks he figured it out and now he is completely good to go! Doug has even gone on a bike ride with him around our neighborhood and Noah was as happy as he could be that he could ride around like a "big boy"! I'm pretty proud of him myself!


This was right before Doug started to train him. I love how happy and excited Noah was at this moment!

Here we go... ...and...he's off!
And this little beauty *finally* figured out how to pedal her tricycle, so she pretty much just follows Noah around on his bike now!

For sure - there is not stopping them now. There is a whole new world out there for them. Think of the exercise they'll be getting too. You are a such a cute little family. :)
