So Long Training Wheels!

The boys and I took a walk in this beautiful fall weather we are enjoying and I noticed how well Hank was riding his bike and how easily he touches the ground now. I suggested we take his training wheels off and he was a little hesitant at first. We've tried this a couple times before but he was too nervous and afraid of falling. I reassured him that I would be right next to him and wouldn't let him crash, so he agreed. After approximately 30 seconds he was cruising around the neighborhood so fast you never would have guessed we just took his training wheels off. Max was clapping and saying "Good job Hank". Hank can't wait to surprise Randy with his new skills when he gets home from work today.

Focus and Concentration!

Look at that confidence!

Hank. I love you. Not only am I one proud aunt that you are so advanced and over the training wheels...I am obsessed with your face.

Tell Randy you and me and Hank are having a sleepover tonight while Brett is gone. My house. PARTY!

Go Hank! Did you hear Hank and I are going to play in Madden? When Rusty was telling me the Hank and Madden stories, I said he could probably beat me. Apparently the boys think this idea is HILARIOUS!

Oh I'm sorry... I thought that Hank was 4... not 8 ! He looks so old. Please tell him not to get a second older.

Congrats Hank. Come tell Rylan that it's ok without training wheels. What a cutie.
