For Uncle Jason's (U.J.) birthday this year, we decided to take the training wheels off A&E's bike....just to see if they could balance and ride at the same time. There was much serious determination and balancing going on. Both girls were so READY, and didn't need much help or coaxing. They just needed to make that decision - and go for it. Daddy ran alongside holding them up about 10 times each - but then it happened so quickly! Maybe they were subconsciously waiting for a momentous holiday to mark the occasion? We like to think it was a special gift for U.J.'s birthday. 
So happy birthday U.J. We learned to ride a bike just for you!! And Sydney has a 2-wheel balance bike too!
