We took Peter's training wheels off today!! He was ready a while ago, but we thought that we should get Hannah to ride a bike before Peter did. Hannah still refuses, but the winds might be changing. I predict that Joseph will be riding shortly without training wheels as well.
At first Peter was very intimidated and scared. After about 1/2 hour and a schoolmate seeing him and sharing her surprise that he couldn't ride a 2 wheel bike he got it. It's funny how a little bit of peer pressure can change things, especially when it is a girl who is putting the pressure on! He rode around our church with no help and without stopping about 4 times. We still need to work on the start up, but I am sure that after a summer of riding his bike we will be looking into registering for the Tour de France.
Sorry there are no pictures, I forgot the camera!

how old is peter? Cait want's me to take her training wheels off yesterday??? I haven't seen her try to ride without them so I am little nervous. Plus I just don't know when the right age is? And I'm only 28 and can't run around and play freeze tag. You are not alone.
What a great idea to have him ride in the church parking lot! Go Peter!
And for your other post, you are a fun mom to play freeze tag! I have great memories of going to our school playground with my parents doing just what you guys did. How fun!
