Today is the Day the Training Wheels Came Off

We have a bad habit of keeping the training wheels on the kid's bikes far past the point that they are truly necessary.  Well, Aidan was no different in this regard.

I had noticed back during the summer that, on the straightaways at least, he really wasn't riding on them.  Despite this, we continued to make excuses and put off their removal.  That was until today.

As we were out enjoying the unseasonably warm temps, and with Mom out for a run, I grabbed a wrench and off they came.  After a few jogs along side him up and down the side walk, away he went.  And the rest is history.
