Been working with him all summer and today it finally clicked. He rode about 50 feet down the driveway without me holding on and didn't even realize I let go. The look on his face when he figured it out was pure gold. My wife got it on video. Honestly might be my favorite dad moment so far.
This is the kind of win that makes all the other stuff worth it. Summer of practice paying off is such a good feeling. Bet he was so hyped.
That's amazing! 50 feet is huge for that age. The moment they get it is so cool to watch. Did he want to keep going or was he done after that?
This right here. All summer of patience just waiting for this one moment. He's probably gonna want to ride constantly now.
All summer of patience right there. Those first moments riding solo are something they don't forget. You're a good dad for putting in the time.
That moment when it clicks is incredible. All those runs up and down the driveway suddenly pay off and he realizes he's actually doing it. How's his confidence now, going for longer distances?
50 feet on the first run is solid. My daughter nailed the training wheels thing last year and now she wants to ride everywhere. Just wait till he realizes he can actually go somewhere without you holding the seat.

Nice work sticking with it. My oldest just learned last year and now she's zooming around the neighborhood like a maniac. The confidence boost is real.
