YEAH!! NO MORE TRAINING WHEELS!!!

So I guess Conner won't be 30 years old and still have training wheels on his bike! LOL! For a while there we really thought he might. Last fall we tried taking the training wheels off his old bike (which was a hand me down bike) and it was really a joke. He wouldn't even try. So we thought it would be cool for Santa to bring him his own new "COOL" bike. Thought it would get him excited to ride it without training wheels. So about a month ago we tried it again. As soon as Conner saw we took the training wheels off he started to cry and said he really liked his training wheels and he didn't even want to try. Poor Curtis wanted to choke him. So for a week either Curt or I would go out for like 10 minutes and just practice with him. Finally we gave up he was sooo terrified he would fall and hurt himself that he wouldn't even concentrate. So we said screw it and put his training wheels back on. I told him that he was going to be the only 30 yr old with training wheels still on his bike. So he started to be proud that he was going to be an adult and still have training wheels. He's not stubborn or anything! He even went over to a friends house and he took his bike and his friends laughed that he still had training wheels. It didn't even faze him. So on Tuesday we went over to the park (brought the bikes) for me to run and the kids to play. I had a thought!! Conner is so terrified of hurting himself. What if I have him ride Coltin's bike but all over the grass. So I asked him. Told him that if he fell it wouldn't hurt because he would fall on the grass. He was all over that and on the first try was up and riding all over the place. I was so excited hollering and yelling. (Sorry it was a little exciting for me.) We came home threw away his training wheels and he has been riding his bike everyday! He hasn't quite got the how you start and how you stop without almost bailing. But he is RIDING!!!!!
