He did it

the middle man is riding on just two wheels!

this was a huge accomplishment for him

and as you can see

he is quite thrilled about it

We waited FOREVER for the big man to get home from school

to tell and show him the great news

in wonderful, big brother fashion he was thrilled for his brother

and immediately began helping him get going and then hopping on his own bike to ride

the three of them "rode" (one may  have been more scouting) all the rest of the afternoon

There is no looking back now!

Oh, and by today

...he could get himself started :)
