"Look Mom!..." Nathaniel's latest trick

As you all know, Nathaniel is our "tackle the world" child. In his mind there is nothing he can't accomplish. Hopefully this will follow him through life and he will one day have success in his hand. As for now, he has success in his little four year-old hand. This past weekend he set out to learn how to ride his bike without training wheels. He worked solid, without interruption for close to two hours. You might guess, he accomplished his mission.

Carefully studying the workings of his bike.

First attempt...feet off the ground.
Whoa!

Let me get these petals juuu...st right!

What?

Let's try this again!

Can't you feel his concentration?

After working and working...

he has lift off!

Good job Nathaniel! We are proud of you!
