Today was a big day in the Prosser-Roughley household--today Jake rode consistently for the first time without training wheels!
Both Cari and I have been working gradually with him for the past couple of months and today he and I went out out to the softball fields at Kennedy Park to practice-little did I know he would do so well!
I was amazed at his balance and ability to turn-now we just need to practice "starts" as I have to help him with a balancing push to get moving.
A truly proud moment, I called Cari at home and had her come down to see for herself (thanks for the videos Cari). The best part, Jake wanted to keep riding and riding-all told we spent almost 1.5 hours on the field and then rode the river trail (with training wheels–for now) about 1.5 miles total to our car.
What an amazing 4 year old, I am so proud of my boy!

That's great! Jake looks like he's having a lot of fun.
Ah yes, there's nothing better than riding a bike.
That rocks! He made some pretty good saves. He’ll be flying in a few months. You’re going to have you hands full my boy. Is Jake’s last name McQueen?
