"Look Mum, no training wheels!"
After a fun day at the park cycling with his friends yesterday Gareth suddenly announced that he was ready to try cycling without his training wheels/stabilizers. He has point blank refused to have a go before now so we agreed that we would seize the moment, get up at the crack of dawn this morning, pack a picnic breakfast and go down to the local park to have a go.
At 6.30am I heard a knock at the bedroom door. There was Gareth, dressed and ready to go!
An hour later and the bike was in the boot minus training wheels. We unloaded everything at a picnic table and just as I was about to pour the first coffee we realised that Gareth's helmet was still in the house.
By the end of the morning he was still wobbling but getting better.
Good boy Gar!
