What a day. We were prepared to endure weeks of encouragement, scraped knees, crushed spirits and sore backs to produce a confident bike rider. Yet another example of how easy these wonderful kids make things for us, CJ declared "You can let go now Daddy" two houses down the road. sniff, sniff. He was SOOOO proud of himself, as were we.

"The hardest part of raising a child is teaching them to ride bicycles. A shaky child on a bicycle for the first time needs both support and freedom. The realization that this is what the child will always need can hit hard." -Sloan Wilson

Aw. The endless dance of knowing when to provide support and when to let go. From here on out you'll be calling out "slow down" with your voices and your hearts!

Good job CJ.
