Look Mum - no side-wheels!

Carl has passed one of life's initiations into the Big Kid's world; he's finally riding his bike without side wheels. For weeks he has simply refused to even entertain the thought. The joy of whizzing along at break-neck speed on his little bike and the ability to execute 90 degree turns without fear of falling off were apparently thrilling enough.


However he finally agreed to give it a crack and now there is absolutely no stopping him. Running along beside your kids' bike holding on them until the moment you judge them able to maintain their balance and not crash into parked cars is obviously a Dad's job (at least in my universe), which meant I was able to capture the moment on film. Here's our little boy, suddenly looking all grown-up. That's Niels you can hear yelling encouragement from behind him!
