Well I've been wanting to start this blog-thing for awhile now, but thought I needed some exciting event to occur first to get me started. Then it happened! Last Thursday night, I asked Dylan, my 5 year old, to let me know when he was ready to take his training wheels off of his bike. He thought about it and said "How about when I'm 5 and 1/2 ?" I said that was fine but that it would be winter time when he was 5 and 1/2 so didn't know if we would be out riding bikes then. So he thought about it some more and decided it was time. I explained to him that once they come off, we are not going to put them back on and that it could take a while to learn. He seemed ok with this and let his Dad remove them. Not 10 minutes later he was doing circles around our cul-de-sac without any help. I was so proud! And he couldn't resist but say "Mom you didn't think I would learn for a long time... I told you so!!" I will never again doubt his abilities and again realize how fast he is growing up!
