He's growing up so fast

Joseph rode his bike with no training wheels today. He is so excited about his new skill. It didn't take much of me holding on to him until I "let go," and then I realized how symbolic that moment truly was. I want to keep him as my "baby" forever, but I am swelling with pride to see him accomplish new skills. Being a mom is full of heart (and heartbreak) - if we are so blessed, we raise these babies into full-grown adults only to have to let go of them. WARNING: emotional times ahead!

Isn't it hard to let go? I love and hate it at the same time. Being a mom is so hard, but wonderful at the same time!

How awesome! Great Job Joeseph. That would be such a great moment.
