Been working with him all summer and today it just clicked. He went like 20 feet down the driveway without me holding on and didn't eat dirt. My wife got it on video and he keeps watching it over and over. Best feeling ever honestly. All those scraped knees paid off.
That's such a W - the no-eating-dirt part makes it even better haha. I remember nailing breakfast the morning my oldest hit that milestone, nothing like celebrating these wins with the family.
Yesss, 20 feet is awesome! We're working up to that now and I can't wait for that exact moment. Did you have any tricks that helped him get the confidence to let go?
That's huge! My son just got there this year and watching that click happen is one of the best dad moments for real. You put in the work all summer and now he gets to ride free, that's what it's all about.
This is one of those parenting wins that really sticks with you. You put in the time and then boom, they just get it. How's he feeling about it?
That's huge! The moment when it just clicks is the best feeling. My oldest did the same thing this summer and I was out there cheering like he'd won the Olympics.

All summer of work finally paid off. 20 feet down the driveway is just the beginning though, soon he'll be riding around the whole block. That's awesome man.
