Tanner has been ready for quite a while, but just didn't have the courage to take the training wheels off his bike. My sister gave us a smaller girl bike that Jason fixed the tires and we took the training wheels off, so it was lower to the ground, and Tanner just took off. On Saturday, August 9th, 2008 was the big day, He didn't even need any help. He did so good just going around in a circle and then had a bit of a harder time going straight, but after a few falls and still falling on occasion when he starts to show off, he thinks he is a pro. Even when we tried to help him he would tell us to not help him that he could do it on his own and sure enough he did. Tanner calls his little girl bike his police bike, and noone has made fun that he is riding a girl bike yet. I hope he has the confidence to not care what other people think. He did say to his uncle Nelson last week, "I can ride a two wheeler bike, but its a girl bike." He will be on his bigger boy bike really soon I think. We were amazed at how fast he just took off. He always had such good balance even when he was 9 months old pushing around the play shopping cart, he would take those corners at my moms house like it was nothing to him down the hall. Ok, so I had to find a few pictures of him cruzn' down the hall when he was a baby. WAY TO GO TANNER!!!
