Last night Friday, September 10, 2005, Ethan rode his bike without training wheels for the first time! Santa brought Ethan a bike last Christmas. Ethan is really fast and good at riding the bike with training wheels. Last night he asked to try it without. He did great. He was really good at keeping his balance. We are now working on stopping and starting. He has learned how to reverse the pedals to put on the brakes and is getting better at getting off the bike without falling. This morning we went out for another ride. This time we practiced turning corners and getting on the bike. Before long he will be zooming all around the neighborhood on his bike without training wheels!
