Today Cole learned how to ride his bike and we couldn't have been any more proud of him. It was so neat to watch him learn...he wanted to give up and then we watched him have the determination to get on and try again. My heart was beating a hundred times a minute. I kept thinking what if he falls. There are times when you just have to let go even if you think they might fail. Even if you want to protect them. Even if you know they might get hurt. I knew deep in my heart that sometimes this is how they learn. Sometimes you have to let go. I slowly took my hand off the bike with my heart racing. He just took off riding. It was amazing! I know this is not the first time I will feel like this, but it is the first for me. Way to go Cole!! Dad and I are so proud you.
