No Training Wheels!!!

Yes, Detroit will be 8 in March. Yes, she still has training wheels on her bicycle.

As you know, Detroit is ULTRA cautious and as a result spent the first year she owned her bike looking at it. By the second year of ownership, she had worked up enough courage to actually get on it. Now that she has almost 2 years of training wheel practice under her belt, we thought that New Year's Day would be the perfect time to get rid of those training wheels - especially when we saw a 4 year old riding without them. Detroit is also ready for a bigger bike, but I don't think they sell bigger bikes with training wheels! My dad took the training wheels off and she was ready to ride (sort of)!

Of course, the whole clan was on standby to help. Grandpa, daddy and each uncle took a few turns helping her stay on the bike...and finally SHE DID IT!
