Tonight, I was practically in tears as I watched my almost 4 year old son ride his bike by himself. He's growing up way TOO fast. He didn't need my help as he peddled down our street. I couldn't believe my eyes. I don't think I'm ready for this at all. I wish he was a baby again. He was such a pleasant baby. If I could turn back the time, I WOULD! I wouldn't change anything, but I wish he was just a little one again. He's going to be 4 years old soon. Time goes by so quickly! I sit there and think, Look at all he's learned. Look, at everything he has mastered since he was a baby. It's truly amazing that they're their own person. I like watching him grow and change with each new day...But as I watched him peddle by himself, I couldn't believe my eyes. I thought, he doesn't need me anymore. Silly as it may sound, but he doesn't need me as much as he did some months ago when he struggled with his bike. He was so frustrated he wanted to go back to his Fisher Price bike, which is now Meesa's. He's got it down pat now and I'm so proud! He's growing and learning new things each and every day. These times are so precious, so precious...Priceless moments. It was a tearful, happy moment. :}
Yeah, and he has...He has done a great job! He's growing up way too quickly. :*(
Love you too, Pa!
