Aaron Loses the Training Wheels

Aaron got rid of the training wheels right around his 4th birthday. I tried a technique recommended by a friend from work, which consists of removing the pedals and lowering the seat (low enough to get both feet flat on the ground), and letting the kidlet push the bike around with his feet to figure out how balance feels on a bike. The first day Aaron was pushing the bike around the block with his feet, and coasting a bit with his feet up. The second day he wanted the pedals back on. After a bit of help with balance, he was riding on his own that same day.
