Maddie takes off the training wheels

Ever since we moved here, Maddie has been watching all of the neighborhood kids ride their bikes without training wheels and she has been asking if we can take hers off. We just kept putting it off. I honestly thought she would be too scared to try and then she would never get to ride her bike because the training wheels would be off. Anyways, this weekend we finally decided to just do it. I was so amazed at how awesome she did. It probably took her a total of 10 minutes and 10 trips up and down the sidewalk to learn. After that, she has just been cruising everywhere. She is so proud of herself and she really loves riding her bike now. Now I'm sad that we didn't do this a long time ago when she was asking.
