I think he's got it!
After quite a few weeks of mom and dad runnin' along side Kimball, holding his shirt ever so slightly, Kimball has learned how to ride his bike without training wheels! YEE-HAH! Yesterday we had a gorgeous park day and it was there that Kimball decided he wanted to ride the grassy hills. Dad took him half way up the hill, ran down with him and let go. Kimball was so proud of himself. It's amazing how all of the sudden, confidence comes and everything clicks. Getting back on the sidewalk was a little scary, but so far so good.
Starting and stopping are still kind of rough, but he brakes, puts his foot down, then dramatically falls on the grass.
Mom's belly and Dad's knees are so grateful for this awesome milestone. Way to go Kimball!

Way to go Kimball! I still remember a few spills I took in the neighbors bushes while learning to ride.
