The Bike Rider

So we were at the kids' school on Saturday working on the school garden. While we were busy gardening, the kids were playing on the playground and riding bikes. Owen has been riding a bike with training wheels for a while now and that's what I saw him do while we were working.

Then I hear Owen say, "Hey Mom, Look at me!" And what is he doing??? Riding a 2 wheel bike with NO training wheels. He was a little wobbly, but definitely riding the little bike loop around the play structure. WHAT??? We were completely shocked! And notice, he didn't even have on a helmet (I think the school should probably invest in helmets)!!

So we went home and took the training wheels off his bike. He rode all day yesterday around the neighborhood, making turns, and even standing up to peddle. It's amazing how fast he can go now. He's quite impressive and very proud of his new skill.
