When we were up at the retreat last week, Elijah declared (much as he did when potty training) that he was ready to ride his bike without training wheels so when we got home, we took the training wheels off.
They neighbors saw Phil trying to teach Elijah how to get the hang of it and brought out this little bike-without-peddles. It allows kids to get the hang of balance without having to remember to peddle at the same time...brilliant. He rode it for about 30 or so minutes...see the little video below.
And then hopped on his "big-boy" bike and hasn't looked back since! It was an exciting moment!
