My baby took his training wheels off...


Seriously, Addison got his own tools out of his tool box and started taking off his training wheels. I helped him unscrew "the little hats" and put some air in his tires for him.


Daddy is giving him some instructions and a few tips. I love how he is biting his lip and concentrating so hard. It only took a few minutes and he was off pedaling on his own.

Asher was such a great brother. He was excited to watch Addison and cheered him along. He wanted to help get him started, and he even offered his bike to Addison incase it would be easier. It was precious to watch Asher taking care of his little brother and showing pride in his fast success. What a wonderful big brother. He could have easily been jealous about his little brother stealing the show and getting all the attention. He could have made negative comments when Addison crashed, but no, he was there to help him up and get him going again. I'm excited to have captured this moment...I know that their lives will be filled with moments of helping each other out...just like brothers should.
Everytime Addison would crash, he would turn and flash a big smile and laugh. He's a little toughy full of determination.
He had one pretty good crash and scratched his hand, but a little comfort from Dad and he was ready to go again.

To me, this is a milestone...and he conquered it with such ease and excitement. How fun is it to have little boys!
