2 wheeling it

Last Sunday, I removed the training wheels from David's bike, and started teaching him how to ride without them. He made some progress, but really couldn't do much without me holding the bike up. Yesterday, I took him out again, and he was able to ride on his own for 2-3 seconds at a time, before swerving off to the left or right, and falling over. Today, he was able to ride for over a 100ft completely on his own. I'm really proud of how quickly he picked up the skill. Yes, he needs to work on it some more (he can't start without me giving him an initial nudge, and he tends to overcompensate on turns), but I think he's got the basic skill down now. I think a few more weeks of training, and he'll be self-sufficient.
