Bike-Riding Maniac

As most of you know, Kyle is obsessed with riding his bike! He could ride it ALL day if I let him. For a long time now he has been begging us to take his training wheels off. I was hesitant because his legs are kind of short and I didn't know if he'd be able to catch himself when stopping. He finally started to say, "Mommy, will you take my training wheels off for my birthday?" At that point I decided that if he wants it that bad I will at least let him try. We started to take them off when Christian was on his way home from work. I figured that would give us a little time to get them off and get used to it, then Christian could be there for the big moment when we let him try it by himself. Once we got them off I called Christian and was talking to him for a minute and looked over and he was off riding all by himself. I couldn't believe it! We never even held onto the back of his seat running beside him...he just up and took off without us. He is a little maniac. The video below was taken about 5 minutes after we took his training wheels off. It has been several days now and he is already trying new, crazy things with his bike. I kind of feel bad now for not taking the training wheels of sooner!
