Training Wheels.....Who Needs 'Em?

So, I was hearing this strange clanking noise while I was fixing supper tonight. I peeked around the corner to find this:

Let me explain what you are looking at here: Jake was in the foyer, taking OFF his training wheels on his bike.  He keeps begging us to take them off and we keep explaining that he still needs them. I keep telling you people that when Jake wants something, he makes it happen himself.  Every knew thing that he does shouldn't surprise me, I mean the kid's first sentance was, "Jakey do it!"  but it never  ceases to shock me anyways. He has always gotten around every bit of child-proofing we've ever done. I think we have a little engineer on our hands.

This is the training wheel that he managed to remove from his bike and was working on the 2nd  one when we caught him.
