Been working with him all summer and today he just took off down the driveway. My wife recorded it and I'm not gonna lie, I teared up a little. All those skinned knees and frustrated tears finally paid off. He's already asking to go again tomorrow. Best feeling ever.
Man, that video is going to be gold. I still have the one of my oldest taking off for the first time and I watch it when they're being difficult. Congrats to your son!
That's huge! Summer well spent. Mine took forever to get off the training wheels and I thought I was doing something wrong, but then one day it just clicked. The video is going to be gold someday.
So awesome. My 6yo is just starting to get confident on the bike. How many times did you have to practice before he got it?
The dedication paying off right there. All those practice sessions stick with them. My 9 year old finally got it last summer and now he's all over the neighborhood. Just wait until he realizes he can actually go places without you.
All summer work paying off. There's nothing like watching them finally get it and take off. Your wife captured the perfect moment there.

This is HUGE! Training wheels to nothing is such a big milestone. The confidence boost alone is worth all those summer afternoons of running behind the bike. Did he want to go right back out or was he nervous after?
