Growing Up!

Nathan will now know what it's like to feel the wind in his face and the freedom of his own 2 wheels. Of course, he will suffer a few falls and probably a few scraped knees and elbows. But at the tender age of 4, my big boy is now riding his bike without training wheels. I want to cry, smile, and hug him all at the same time. I think I did! It's just another signal that my days as Nathan's best friend and future wife are over. He'll be growing up and leaving me soon for kindergarten in the fall. I'm so proud of the boy and I love watching the milestones pass us by. I just wish they wouldn't fly by so fast sometimes! Here's a video of Nathan riding his bike sans training wheels.

And look closely at this picture, and you'll see the redneck knee pads. :) We couldn't find his - they're probably buried in one of the moving boxes - so we made do with a little duct tape and a pair of socks!
