2 WHEELS!!!

Dave and Ben were outside this afternoon when he casually mentioned to Ben that he could take off his training wheels... well, Ben was ALL ABOUT THAT! So they started on the grass and here's how it went...


GO BEN!

Then the boys moved to the street!

When Ben needs to stop, he just drives up onto the grass! Who needs brakes?!

Things Ben needs to work on:
1. braking
2. turning
3. starting off without help
In the meantime, he's enjoying having Daddy start him off and then riding, while giggling the entire time, until he wants to stop and goes up on the grass!

We are pretty amazed that he's picked up the balancing part pretty quickly. We're also loving living on a cul-de-sac so that he can practice pretty safely!

Good for you Ben, I knew you didn't need those lop-sided training wheels.
Thanks for sharing the photos, Mom.

I love those action shots of Dave. Looks like he's trying to catch a moving target not releasing. Thanks for a peek at the milestone. I still remember my first 2 wheel ride! A LONG time ago.
