New Skill...Riding a bike without training wheels!!!

We had such an exciting day yesterday! Luke and Emma BOTH learned how to ride their bikes without training wheels!!!!! It was so exciting! We took a family bike ride to the park...(I was secretly planning on working on taking their training wheels off, but I didn't want to tell them that) so Matt had a wrench on his bike. We got there and took them off. We started with Luke, Matt was kind of holding him up and running along side of him. Soon I could see that he was holding on to him with just one hand. Then I saw that he was just touching his back with the one hand, then half way around the circle he had let go and was jogging along side of Luke! It was so exciting! I can't believe he caught on so quick on just the first time around the circle. I had been trying in the weeks leading up to it and he was not willing to do it...so all he needed was his dad! And all Emma needed was to see her brother get it and she couldn't be out done and she was already asking to take her training wheels off by the time Luke made it all the way around. She needed a little more help and had a few more spills in the grass, but she was determined, and sure enough she was on her own! They are so excited.
