Look Momma, no more training wheels!!!

After weeks of bending his training wheels up higher and higher, Jacob finally decided that they were in the way and he wanted to take them off. We have been encouraging him and telling him that whenever he was ready, we would go ahead and take them off. Justin was still at work so I was going to wait, but Jacob insisted and I was afraid that he would change his mind...so I found a wrench and somehow figured out how they came off. I had to steady him upright because his toes barely touch the ground and he literally took off while I was standing there. I didn't even have to run with him!!! You could tell how excited he was! You can see all of the neighbor kids in the video but you can't hear them cheering him on and telling him how "awesome" he was doing! Of course, we called Justin and told him and Jacob was so excited to show Daddy what he could finally do!!
