I'm not sure why I take such pleasure out of my kids riding bikes without training wheels, but I do!
Ahma bought a balance bike for him last summer and he LOVED it and did really well with it. He was able to get up to a high speed and then balance for a long distance. We thought he'd be all about taking the training wheels off of the big boy bike right away, but alas he didn't want us to. All summer we would gently prod and see if he'd like to try, but, he is our timid one, so he kept saying no.
Husband had to fix the chain yesterday and I "wink winked" that the training wheels would need to come off first. #2 hesitated and said no, that he would fall, but we left them off and said that dad needed to get back to cutting wood. Husband helped him once, and he crashed, it was a good crash, and he was mad. But, once we stopped paying attention and encouraging him, he took it back up on his own, and SUCCESS! Not going to lie, he's not as graceful as some, he takes after my sister Becky, but, he got the job done and today is doing great!

1 Corinthians 15:10- But by the grace of God I am what I am, And His grace was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them-- yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.
I love you sister and he will do just fine:)
