We've been working on this all summer and today it just clicked. My wife was holding the seat and I was running alongside and then suddenly I just let go and he just kept going. He rode like 20 feet before stopping and looked back at me with the biggest smile. My heart swear to god. Spent the next hour watching him go up and down the driveway. Feeling pretty proud right now.
Dude, congrats! We're working on that milestone too. Love that you were both there running alongside - those are the moments they remember.
Nothing beats that feeling when they go from wobbly to confident all of a sudden. Burritos and a celebration dinner are definitely in order for that win.
That moment hits different when they finally nail it. The confidence boost they get is amazing. We went to the ice cream place right after to celebrate.
YES! That's huge! My oldest took forever to get past that mental block where he thought he needed the training wheels. Once it clicked though it was instant. Congrats to your son!
All summer of work paying off! My son just learned this too and now he wants to ride everywhere. Fair warning, you're about to become a bike trip parent.

That's awesome! That moment when they finally get it is the best. My oldest just clicked on riding his bike last year and now he's everywhere on it.
