Training Wheels...

It turned out to be a great afternoon to get outside and ride bikes and scooters.  Ben decided that he would like to try no training wheels... he actually started doing pretty good!  It was pretty exciting to watch!  He "gave up" several times, but we always talked him into trying again.  There were a few falls, of course, but he caught himself really well with his feet every time.  I got a video of him riding, falling, and the beginning of a  little fit that sent him to the front porch for a break, but we were very impressed with his skills!  We will keep working on it!




Conner decided, after Ben's success, that he would be willing to try no training wheels as well!  He gave it a shot for a little while, but he was laughing so much, I'm not sure how much he was actually trying!  He pretty much leaned on Daddy the whole time!





Dad had to take a break, so Ben thought he would help Conner ride... sweet idea, but they both ended up on the ground in a few seconds!  Can't believe they are big enough to even try to ride their bikes on their own!!!  We had a great time this afternoon watching these two!
