They're gone!!!

The training wheels are officially gone from Ben's bike!  Ben got a new bike for his birthday, this year, and after just a few minutes of practice, the training wheels were banished forever!  I worked with Ben in the early afternoon for about 15 minutes (until Mommy lost her patience and Ben lost his motivation), and then Daddy came home and worked with him another 15 minutes or so, and then he was off!  He was so proud of himself (and so were we), and he's been riding his bike every single day since!  Every visitor we've had recently has gotten a quick demonstration of his bike riding skills, and our vehicles have had a permanent place in our driveway so he can ride circles in the garage.  It's so fun to watch him grow up and learn new skills, and the pride he has in himself is priceless!  Way to go, Ben!
