Fly like an eagle, little man

The training wheels came off our son's bike the other day. "Dad just took 'em off and I got on my bike and rode away!" My husband notes that he heard the phrase "I can do it, I can do it..." being repeated softly during the entire bike riding session. Hubby says he told his son, "Well, actually, you already have done it!" "I know," came the reply, "I'm just givin' myself a little encouragement!"
