In the half an hour after I left the house to go to work tonight, Einar rode his bike for the first time without training wheels! When I left it looked like the evening was going downhill fast with lots of crying, failed attempts to go to the park, and 5 year olds making bad choices. Jared creatively turned it all around with an impromptu "let's try this" activity and soon Einar was riding his bike down the sidewalk with the neighborhood kids cheering him on. Thankfully, our neighbor Chris was able to get these pictures for us.
Needless to say, when I left it felt like work was the best place I could have been going tonight, but it turns out that all sorts of great things were taking place while I was gone.
