Training wheels are off!
Mahlon finally decided that it was time to remove the training wheels on his bike today. He had been physically ready for a few weeks; however, he wasn't convinced that he could do it.

After one of his training wheels actually fell off during his ride this afternoon, he figured that he really didn't need them any more. However, with Miles breaking his foot recently, I would almost prefer that the training wheels stay on for a while longer.

BTW, the photo at right is of Mahlon making his bike-riding face. It is very similar to his football game face that I posted a photo of earlier in the week.
