I'm a big kid now!

We have been working with Ammon for several months now to get him to ride his bike without training wheels. At first he was all for it, until he realized he didn't know how to balance. Since then, he wouldn't practice riding his bike unless it was his idea first. Last night he was having some trouble with his tires so we fixed it and then took the loose training wheels off his other bike too. He just took off. He wanted me to hold the seat at first when he got on and give him a push, but he totally didn't need it. Brady suggested starting at the top of the driveway and going down to gain speed; Ammon thought that was really cool. He's got the turning down, he can start and stop by himself, and he just loves it. The first time he went down the driveway he wanted everyone's attention so we could "all cheer for me," he said. Hurray for no training wheels or whining about not being able to ride his bike!!
