Riding a bike

About a month ago Darren wanted to try and ride a bike without training wheels. He got on the bike and I tried to help him by hanging on to the back of the seat, but he just didn't quite have his balance mastered yet. He wanted to keep trying but I thought it was a worthless cause and I was starting to feel self-concious running behind him....not to mention out of breath.

Then on Tuesday night Darren asks me to come out and watch him ride his bike. I was prepared to watch him crash when he surprises me and rides the bike without training wheels! How and when did he learn how to do that? He is still a little shaky on the take-off and stopping, but he is riding a bike. He is so proud of himself.
