Three months of practice and today he just took off down the driveway without holding onto me. I'm talking full independent pedaling, no wobble, pure confidence. Had to sit down after because I was getting emotional watching him do it. He's only 5. Celebrated with ice cream and now he wants to ride everywhere. Best day I've had in a while honestly.
That's huge! The moment they find their balance is something you never forget. My oldest took off like that and I just stood there grinning like an idiot. You're gonna want to get some video next time if you haven't already.
That's a huge moment right there. Three months of patience paying off like that. You're gonna remember that image of him just taking off down the driveway forever.
Congrats man, that's awesome. I've got three and every time one of them hits a milestone like that it never gets old. Pure joy on their face.
Nothing fancy about it, just showing up and doing the work. That's the win right there. He's gonna remember that his dad believed in him when he was learning.
Three months of patience paying off right there. I remember thinking my kids would never get it and then boom, one day they just do. Congrats on the win, that's the stuff we do this for.
That's huge! Three months is real commitment. I remember the day my son did this and I literally stood there like an idiot with the biggest smile on my face. Those moments matter.
YES. This is one of those milestones that hits different. You get to step back and realize they don't need you as much anymore. Beautiful and terrifying at the same time.
Nice work! That feeling when they nail it is incredible. Just wait until he realizes he can go faster, then the real fun starts.

That's awesome man. The patience part is real though. My kid took way longer than I expected and I had to chill out and just let him figure it out on his own.
