Achieving balance

Andy and I have been plotting for some time, planning to suggest Will ditch his training wheels this weekend. Will is not the boldest kid on the block; he's usually downright cautious. We didn't know how he'd approach the challenge... but he was game! Doesn't he look like he's ready to break into song? (And, yes, he's wearing the gloves from his Halloween costume.)
While Ellie napped, Will and Dad took to Fourth Street. We expected to make just a little progress this afternoon.
But in no time at all...
I *love* the look on Will's face: I'm doing it! He still needs practice—a sidewalk isn't quite wide enough for his unpredictable path yet—but the weekend has just begun.
Go Will!
