He did it!!

We met some friends at the park today (Kim and her boys, Brandon and Colton). When they all showed up with their bikes I was amazed to see Colton--who is Wyatt's age--riding without training wheels. I expressed my amazement and told Kim about our struggles teaching Ethan. This whole teaching him to ride a bike has been a thorn in our sides for years. We just couldn't figure out how to coach him. Then, in a matter of minutes, Kim had Ethan up and going without training wheels!!! The key--keep your arms straight. Who knew--we certainly didn't! Now if we can just get the chain to stay on his bike he will be in business. Now it's Zach's turn.
