Today was a big milestone for Camden. We removed his training wheels from his bike. We knew he could have done it long ago but we just hadn't got around to taking them off and forcing him into it. :) We had been talking it up for quite awhile but it wasn't until a few weeks ago when he was on a Fathers & Son's camping trip that he saw kiddo's younger than him riding without training wheels. Not wanting to be out done by someone younger he suddenly became interested in taking his training wheels off. So on the advice of a friend we took them off and headed to the closest grassy area (or mildly grassy as this is Tucson) we could find which was Fruchthendler, Camden's school. Doug gave him a good push to start and told him to just keep pedaling. We were amazed, he took off and rode across the soccer field...no problems. Although later there were a few tears and throw downs of the bike as we had him try to navigate some more complicated areas. He did great. We are proud of you sweet Camquat!
