Some of you may recall that at the end of last summer SM was just learning how to ride a bike.  Well this weekend he attempted to get back on the bike, and he rocked it.  It was as if he had never stopped riding. It was a proud moment for him and for my husband and I.

While it was obvious how excited he was to be riding again and how proud he was that he could do it without training wheels, I was surprised at how emotional it was for me.  I didn’t expect to get all teary-eyed as he rode up and down the street or to have all the visions of him riding off into the sunset.  It was strangely overwhelming.

These days it seems as if my “little boy” is growing up so fast.  Its so wonderful seeing him develop into a young man, watching him gain confidence and independance but man my emotions are killing me!
