Guys I'm not gonna lie I teared up a little. Been working with him all summer and today he just took off down the driveway without me holding the seat. Made it like 50 feet before he wobbled and went into the grass but he did it. My wife got it on video and I've already watched it like 20 times. Proud doesn't even cover it.
That's the stuff right there. All summer of patience and those little tumbles lead to this moment. Your kid's gonna remember you being there for it.
Man that's awesome, those moments hit different. I remember when my oldest finally got it and I was standing there like an idiot grinning at nothing. All that work pays off right there.
Dude nothing wrong with tearing up over that. I'm not even at bike stage with my 2 year old yet but I'm definitely gonna be emotional when it happens.
This is the stuff you remember forever. Not the expensive toys or whatever. Just your kid looking back at you like they did something amazing because you believed they could.
Wait til he wants to take it further and you're chasing him down the street wondering where the time went. Enjoy this moment because they grow stupid fast.
Getting a kid to ride without training wheels requires patience that I don't think I have. Seriously props for sticking with it all summer. That's solid parenting right there.
That moment hits different man. I remember when my son finally got it and I was just standing there grinning like an idiot. You earned those tears.
This is such a cool memory to have. All summer of practice paying off in one moment. Your son's gonna remember that you believed in him even when he couldn't do it yet.
Bro tearing up is totally valid. That's a legit milestone and you put in the work all summer. Bike without training wheels is like a first real independence moment. Nice work sticking with him.
Congrats man! The summer of working up to it and then finally clicking is honestly one of the best dad feelings. How long did it take before he wanted to ride everywhere?

These are the wins that actually matter. Forget the sports trophies or whatever. Your kid conquering something he was scared of is what parenting is about.
