Been working with him all summer and today it finally clicked. He rode about 50 feet down the driveway before bailing but he didn't even cry. Just got back up and wanted to do it again. My wife got it on video and I must have watched it 20 times already. Feeling pretty good right now.
50 feet is solid for the first run. My 5 year old is just getting there too and those small victories feel bigger than they actually are. Stoked for your guy!
That's huge! The fact that he got back up without crying is the real win here. Confidence like that carries into everything.
Getting that trainer wheel off is such a milestone. Sounds like all that summer work paid off and he's got the right attitude about falling. You crushed this one!
This is the best feeling in the world right? All summer of patience and then boom, it just clicks. Your son probably felt like he could fly. These are the moments that make all the other dad stuff worth it.
50 feet is huge progress. I bet you were nervous as hell letting go for the first time but watching them nail it is unbeatable. Did he want to get right back on it or was he done for the day?

Congrats! That's a huge milestone. My oldest took forever to get there but once he did there was no stopping him. Be ready for him to want to ride everywhere now. Your neighborhood is about to become his kingdom.
