On two wheels...

Last Saturday, Cameron accomplished a childhood milestone. It was bittersweet for this mama. I vividly remember the others - first smile, first steps, first words, etc. and they were all nothing less than perfect. This one took me by surprise, and while I am soooo excited for him, it's a little hard to take in the newfound independence.

Cameron went up to his Daddy and demanded the training wheels be taken off. Can you believe?! Greg acquiesced but we both had some reservations. We took him to the same place we had taught Caleb (in case you haven't seen it, our driveway is NOT the place to learn to ride a bike) and in less than five minutes, Cameron was riding his bike. Now, we ride everyday. Sometimes, we wear our helmet to the store and carry the bike in the car in the absolute off chance Mom might pull over somewhere and let him ride his bike (picking my battles).


The evidence

SO PROUD!!
Some of the sweetest and hardest words to hear "Daddy, let go...I can do it."
