Sheer Will

Will decided he wanted to ride his bike without training wheels today. So he did. In typical Will fashion he just picked up his bike and started riding. We took him to the park a couple times this spring to practice (where it's nice and grassy and makes for a softer landing) and he always did fairly well, but never wanted to try it 'off the grass'.  Enter our hot, humid, don't want to leave the house, summer weather and the bikes get put away until October when we can venture outside again without melting. Today was an exception, it was a nice and cool 87 degrees, time to go outside to do something other than submerge ourselves in water. Out come the bikes! And Will says he wants to ride without training wheels. Cool, but first we (as in Jon and myself) NEED to clean out the car. We were seriously in some form of health violation driving the kids around in that hazmat vehicle. So Will, sorry buddy, you will have to wait a little bit. We'll go to the park when we are done. Will, in pure Will fashion, decides he's not going to wait, he's just going to do it himself. And he does.
And that's how Will operates. He has more determination and focus than I know what to do with. But it does come in handy at times, like you know, when you need to disinfect your motor vehicle. Way to go Will. I am so proud of you. Surprised, no. But still proud.
