Aaron on two wheels

Aaron decided it was time to take off the training wheels!  We were riding around in the cul-de-sac and his back tire kept getting high centered due to the training wheels. He was getting frustrated, so I told him that wouldn't happen any more if we took the training wheels off.  He said, "well take them off then."
I did, and he did great, I barely had to hold him at all.  I just walked/ran along side to catch him when he started to tip over.  There was a little set back when I wasn't fast enough and he got scratched up a bit.  But after a purchase of elbow and knee pads he was back on, and more confident.  After another day of practicing he can get on, get going, and stop safely all by himself!
