Proud Mama Moment

While I was away on a kid-free weekend, my son accomplished something that he has been too nervous to really try - he learned to ride his bike without training wheels!!! Colin has always been a very logical, common sense kind of kid - which made him a little more timid when it came to swings, slides, bikes, etc. He was always aware that there was danger involved (Meli is the complete opposite). Last summer he was ready to take the training wheels off, but once we did he had no interest in getting back on the bike. I would try to convince him that it was safe and we would not let go until he was ready...but he would have none of it. It did amaze me the few times he did try how much effort it took on our end to keep him straight up. That kid would be leaning over so far. He even made me nervous.

About 4 months ago, he learned how to ride his scooter. To me, that seems a lot harder than a bike. Then for some reason, once I leave for a weekend he decides to try his bike...and does it!!! As much as I hate to have missed that awesome life moment, I am so happy that he has accomplished something that he saw as such a hard thing to learn. He is just growing up too fast.
