this morning ethan came and got me out of bed because he said he wanted to "show me something outside". so i came down the stairs and followed him on the porch and he showed me the pile of nuts and hardware from his bike. he had taken off his own training wheels. he even knew to use the wrench. smart kid. anyhow i saw the rubber mallet next to the wrench as well and i must've made a weird face at it because ethan then told me, "ok well the hammer is out because i was just going to destroy the bike but then i thought i would just take my training wheels off instead....i just felt like i was ready."hysterical.
anyhow here is a little video of him riding. try not to notice that his shirt is filthy and he's in flip-flops and pajama pants. yeah you could say he dressed himself. but oh well....when the moment is there you can't stop to make sure everyone is clean and looking their best. you just have to capture it as it happens!
he really didn't need any help at all i just held on to the back of his seat for security to make him feel better for a minute and then he was just gone.....pretty amazing that he was able to just pick up and ride just like that....
ethan went on a little bike ride with nora. or as avery calls her "my nora".
