2 Wheels

If you look very carefully at this picture you will notice that Charley's training wheels are OFF!!!!  Seriously, I can't keep up with my kids.  They are all growing up too fast!

We have been trying to get Charley to take her training wheels off all summer.  All of the kids that are about her age have now learned how to ride on 2 wheels.  I think there is maybe 1 that hasn't (there are a lot of kids on our block). Tonight Ben told her he just wanted her to try.  As soon as he said that, she started tearing up....she was so scared.  Ben thought he was in for at least an hour of crying and frustration.  But it was the complete opposite.  He helped her once, let her go and she was off on her own.  It was amazing!  (lets cross our fingers teaching her to drive is just as easy!)

This was a big accomplishment for her.  She really was terrified of taking her training wheels off. But we are so proud of her!

Way to go Charley! Next thing she'll be begging for the Car keys!

I was thinking the same thing as Schramma! Good job Charley! You probably can ride a bike much better than Nana can! I can't believe how fast they are all growing!
