We took off Will's training wheels a few weeks back. He's been doing great on his bike and it seemed like the training wheels were really slowing him down. He rode pretty much right off the bat. He's strong and athletic and is balance is great. Tim was awesome teaching him (he's logged a lot of miles now running beside little boys on bikes) and Jared was such a sweet encourager.Will can totally ride on his two wheeler ... when he wants to. It's funny as a parent seeing so many of your own tendencies in your children. Will is A LOT like me - I hated to fall as a kid. There isn't much we can talk Will into if he doesn't want to do it himself. Suffice it to say that we're still working on practicing to get his confidence up so he doesn't psyche himself out. He'll be riding perfectly and then out of nowhere hit the brakes! Soon, I am sure he will come to trust that he really CAN do it.
Stay tuned!
