Look Mom ... No Training Wheels!

That's right. My little boy is just growing up so fast! Every time I turn around, he's learning to do things that just make me realize he's not so little anymore.

Today we decided it was time for Zach to learn to ride his bike without his training wheels. He's very coordinated and does very well with any type of physical activity, like sports and such, so we figured it would go fairly fast.

Little did we know how fast he would get a handle on how to do it. After about 5 minutes (really, it was 5 minutes!) of Jeremiah running behind him up and down the sidewalk, he had it.



Hailey of course wouldn't be left out of this whole bike riding thing. She followed Jeremiah and Zach up and down the sidewalk on her "bike" and would be so excited whenever he did something good.

(She was of course quick to point out that she was already riding her bike without training wheels - silly girl!)

And here's our big boy riding completed without training wheels, without any help, and on the road.




Can you believe how big he is? I don't know about you, but just seeing him on that bike riding all by himself makes him look so much older.

Wow, that is great! I hope Madi can pick it up soon... She gets nervous when they practice. Oh well!!

I can't believe he's already at that age. He's grown so much! We are so proud that he's doing so many "big boy" things, but we are just sad he's growing up so fast.
