One of Tucker’s gifts the other week was a “big boy” bike. We’ve had him on one of those balance bikes for the last couple summers. The first year he didn’t do much with it, but last summer he really started mastering it.
We figured it was time to level up.
I could believe how fast he took to it. Here’s a clip of the maiden voyage after practicing twice in the yard:
I was beyond thrilled.
Being a parent has it’s challenges (to put it lightly). There are moments, even days, that make you question whether it is all worth it.
Then there are moments like these that make you feel there is nothing else worth doing.
It is amazing to me that our children will grow up with such huge milestones caught on video, forever archived. What a gift.
I hope they look back at them, putting tears in their eyes like they do mine.
