No More Training Wheels!

This weekend we went to the NJ Shore and stayed with Uncle Jon, Aunt Georgi, Emma and Lexi. Uncle Matt was there for the weekend and he wanted to help me learn to ride my bike. He told my mommy that she needed to "swoop" my training wheels, but she had no idea what that was, so he did it. After I took a little loop around the corner, Uncle Matt told me that he really thought I could ride my bike without the training wheels. I looked right at him and said, "Take 'em off!" He told me that if he took them off, they weren't going back on, so I said to him again, "TAKE 'EM OFF!" So, Uncle Matt took off my training wheels and in about 15 minutes I was riding with NO training wheels!! Mommy and Daddy, Uncle Jon, Aunt Georige, Uncle Matt, Great Grandmom Suter, Aunt Julie, Aunt Janice, and even the people at the neighboring trailers at the campground, were cheering for me!! At first I still needed a little help getting started, but I kept practicing all weekend and now I've got the hang of it! I'm even pretty good at wheelie's!! Emerson also learned to ride his Thomas bike this weekend. He still needs his training wheels, but I bet it won't be long until he can ride like me!
