No training wheels

Liz and Anneliese were off at an afternoon birthday and Ethan wanted to ride his bike.  I asked him if he wanted to take his training wheels off.  He said, "OK."  So I lowered his seat, tool the wheels off and got some exercise running along side him as he weaved back and forth with the handle bars and leaned against me.  After five minutes, he told me to go ahead and let him go.  He crashed a few times, but then started getting the hang of it!  We decided to celebrate by getting a "big boy" haircut, finally off the ears and neck and much thinned out.  It was quite a shock to Liz when she got home (but she held back any tears) and it took us both a week or two to get used to it.
