Dave has been telling William for some time that as soon as he turns 5 he is going to have to learn to ride his bike with no training wheels. William has been on board with this for awhile. It was super cold here for the first few weeks of February after he turned 5, but last weekend it was beautiful. We took the opportunity to go over to the elementary school and start the training.
He was a little wobbly, but he did a pretty good job. We didn't want to push things, so we decided to wait a day or 2 to try again.
2 days later, Dave called me while he was out practicing with him, telling me that it just wasn't working. I gave him a few tips on ways to deal with William when he gets scared/nervous/uncooperative. About 30 minutes later, they arrived home. And what do you know? William was riding with NO training wheels...all the way down the street! (don't be alarmed by the cry at the end. Hudson had fallen over in the driveway...)

BIG boy indeed!!! I am SO using this to bribe Ryan. Matthew has known for over a year how to ride without the training wheels and RYan refusing to try again(he had it at one time!.
Way to go William!!!!!
That's so great! Congrats, William! Man, I wish we could all ride bikes together :)
