And he's off!!!

Pop came this week and one of the first things Aston asked him was if he would take the training wheels off Mei Mei's bike. He's been wanting to learn on her bike because that is how is pal Jack Hall learned...on his sister Kingsley's girly but much smaller bike.

Pop loves this sort of thing so off they came in a jiffy and off he went...making Jeff and I feel like such neglectful parents for not taking action sooner. He got on the seat as I held the handlebars and he started pedaling and and yelling "Mom let go you are pulling me over!" so I let go and sure enough he had this thing in the bag!

The very next day, with encouragement from my friends Anne and Ashley, Pop took the training wheels off his big bike and it was a seamless transition. He was racing Dad and Pop in no time. Now we can't get him off!!! Way to go bud! Whew! and a week before you turn 5!

Amazing Aston! Chuck and I are so excited...so fun to see Pop ride Aston's bike...and Stelly's, too??
Stellyn thank you for sharing your bike with Aston so he could learn to ride...pretty soon Stellyn will be riding a 2 wheeler, too!

I remember when Pop taught Kate how to ride a two wheeler...she was 5 years old! love, Gram
