So, while we were busily packing the car for our camping excursion, Connor suddenly decided it was time to take the training wheels off his bike. I'd been thinking/wondering what my responsibility was regarding this issue for a month or two since I see kids his age now and then riding about without the mini side wheels. But, he had not really brought it up so I figured we'd cross that bridge when we came to it.
Not wanting to let him think about it too much, and despite the fact that the timing was inconvenient (I mean, really, who wants to go camping with a kid in an arm cast?) I went inside and got Bob and he brought the wrench. Wanna see the ride? Watch it here on Dropshots. It's the first video at the top dated July 23.
On video, it looks funny to me. He is SO big. And he's so big compared to that little bike which he almost never rides. But he did it--no hesitation. Way to go, Connor!

Awesome! Tuesday was bike safety day at camp, and Dylan was embarrassed to take his training wheel bike. He thought he'd be the only kid there with them. He begged me to let him take the two wheeler bike Ian gave him, which he hasn't tried out yet. I said no, of course - didn't think they'd appreciate that at camp! But we'll be practicing soon. He has never really cared about riding his bike, just his scooter. So we'll see how it goes, hopefully he'll have an easy time like Conner did!
