the one and only

bennett has learned to ride his bicycle withOUT training wheels. i know this may not seem like a big deal. i know he is 6 and a 1/2 and probably most 6 and 1/2 year olds can already do this, but this guy has not really ridden a bike until we moved here. living in the city, there were not too many opportunities to go on bike rides. since we have lived here he has gotten more used to the whole bike riding thing and then other night out of the blue we took off the training wheels. he has fallen once and caught himself before he really fell. he picked it up pretty easily. i think it is time now to get him a little bit bigger of a bike. way to go bennett you are so good.

Yay Bennett!! Jillise wants to learn to ride without them, but we live on a hill. Not gonna happen. :)

Way to go Bennett!! That is such an accomplishment! Our six year old just learned to ride a few weeks ago and it's a big milestone. He stills says while riding, "Man! I can't believe I am doing this!"
