No more training wheels.

As you know, we took his training wheels off on Monday. The first day we took them off, there was a lot of distraction going on having our neighbor Matthew around. Javan LOVES playing with Matthew and really wanted to play "Tron" with him or whatever game it was at the moment...

As you can see from this video...





Tues, Wed, and Thurs were super busy with preschool, going to daddy's house, gymnastics and playing with Matthew we didn't have a lot of time to practice....

Yesterday, I finally had a chance to get Javan out there (without Matthew around).  I thought it would take some time to teach him but NOPE... once I got him started... he was OFF!!!



We sill need to practice "getting started" but he's GREAT at stopping.

Javan was riding his bike and I said to Lance, "Now, we just need to teach him starting and stopping..." as I was saying that, Javan was zooming by with a proud "LOOK AT ME!!" expression on his face. He was looking at us instead of the car parked on the street RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM!!  I started yelling, "Javan, STOP!!  THE CAR. STOP!!!"

Luckily, Javan slammed on his breaks and stopped just inches from the car bumper.  Shew, it took quite a while for my heart to stop racing!!!

....AND... we learned that he is just fine when it comes to stopping!! haha.
