Look mom! No training wheels.

We have been trying to get Luke to ride without training wheels but he never wanted to try. FINALLY tonight he wanted to try. Why not? It's only 105 so lets do it. I walked him out front and had no shoes on so I went in to get some shoes and Justin went down the street with him and he got it THE FIRST TIME! WOOHOO Lukie! He was so excited.

I came out and snapped a picture and some video and came back in and 5 minutes later I hear Luke crying so hard and Justin telling him that it is OK and happens to everyone. HE ATE THE CONCRETE FACE FIRST! Thank goodness for his helmet. Of course his palms were scraped and his knee messed up. We told him that he could take a bath instead of a shower and he was pretty excited but still crying. We got him all cleaned up and bandaged for the night and then I told him the story of when I fell off a moped and was all scraped up and bandaged and it was the first week of my freshman year in college. I even told him that some of the football players asked if I was in a motorcycle wreck. I was gimping all around and could not bend my knees and my arm from the elbow to the middle of the arm were torn up. At least the boys thought it was funny... at the time it was not funny to mommy :)

Now, let's hope that he will get back on the bike!
