Official Removal of Training Wheels

We tried to encourage him last summer when he found he could balance a two-wheeler. But in the end, he got a little nervous and said 'let's wait until I'm 7'. Once we got home from KY on Memorial Day weekend, Grandpa asked him if he were ready and he said 'sure!' So before he could change his mind, papaw got his tools out...




and got him started. He took right to it.

Noah, of course, then needed some work on his bike. Here grandpa is installing Noah's "turbo booster" (it was a stick that kept falling out and was serving as a very entertaining bit of frustration for Noah) He was soooo happy with papaw...


End result: Ethan is officially "extreme" and notice Noah's "turbo booster" sticking out above his back wheel. I promise you...this kid does not think he can ride his bike without the turbo booster. He's convinced the bike doesn't work if it's not there. :)
Below is some video to commemorate the occasion...

It won't be too long before the bikes are traded for keys to a car. :)
