He did it!

Noah can now ride his bicycle without the training wheels! We're so proud!!

He turns 6 in little over a month. Many younger kids in the 'hood are already riding two-wheelers, but he's been really nervous about it thus far. Last fall, he was insistent that he couldn't do it, and he was working hard on his Razor. We figured that would teach him some balance, so that would be a good primer for his bike.

This week, in the crazy, gorgeous spring-like weather, we took a couple of trips to the park, one of them with Symone, our neighbors' daughter. She is about 8 months older than Noah, and she is a champ on her bike. She rode her bike and Noah rode his scooter, and he was thoroughly pissed that she was going faster than he was. You could see his mind churning -- he was obviously deciding he was going to figure out that bike.

So Matt took him out today, and withing 2 minutes, he was on his own. He was so proud of himself. It was one of those beautiful parenting moments. Pictures to follow.

P.S. Matt wanted me to add that he can't believe Kansas lost.
