Liam on a bike

Liam has been asking to take off his training wheels for weeks, perhaps months, now.  But after daylight savings ended, it was too dark for Will to go out with Liam after work, and Saturday schedules kept filling up.  In the meantime, Liam has been practicing by trying not to let his training wheels touch the ground on his way to school. 

 Apparently that practice has paid off!  We purchased a kick stand a few days ago, and Liam convinced me to put it on his bike and take off the trainers.  I was surprised that once he got going, there was no stopping him!

I thought for sure our driveway would be too small to practice in because I had the hardest time learning to turn when I was a kid, but the small space posed no obstacle for my little man!

All we really need to work on is getting on and off- but the actual riding part he has down solid.
