Kinder, No Training Wheels, and Allowance

Bottom line my big boy is getting old.  It seems crazy to me that Weston is 5 and about to start kindergarten!!!  We went and registered him last Thursday at Mary Martin elementary where he will start in the fall.  He was so excited and loved every minute of it.  He kept telling me that I was going to miss him and that Caleb was going to miss him too :)  I think he's right. 

Another thing we've started is chores for him.  He has started making his bed (or best he can) every morning, putting all his clothes away and setting the table at dinner time.  If he does it all week he gets a $1 which is a LOT of money in his mind!!!  He asks everyday if it's payday yet :) 

He had tried the no training wheels thing about a year ago and almost had it and then we didn't keep at it and he never got it all the way.  Well now living close to Pops house he has a SUPER long driveway to practice on.  He found out that Kiersi was riding her bike without training wheels and that's all it took.  He asked Pops right then to take his off and he started riding it.  He is doing great!!!  He has figured out stopping and starting and all of it.  The video below shows him riding....he likes to ride it crazy and last night he had his first major wreck because of that....skinned knees, chin and forehead.  I'm sure it's just the first of many in my world.
