Holding the back of the seat for like 6 months. Today I let go and didn't tell him and he just... kept going. Made it all the way down the driveway. Came back around and his face when he realized what he did was the greatest thing I've seen. Got the video but honestly I was too emotional to hold the camera steady. Best day.
Dude that's HUGE. That moment when you let go and they just nail it... there's nothing like it. All those months of holding on and then suddenly they don't need you anymore. Bittersweet but so worth it.
Six months of holding that seat and then boom, he's riding. That's what it's all about right there.
This is huge! All those little practice runs paid off. There's nothing like watching them nail something they've been working toward. Bet he was stoked.
That's the moment right there. I remember letting go with my oldest and just holding my breath. So proud of you for letting him figure it out. Those are the memories that stick.

That's amazing! I remember doing that with my daughter and my heart was pounding. When she realized I wasn't holding anymore and just kept going? Man, I had to step away for a second. Proud dad moment for sure.
Those are the moments that make all the hard stuff worth it. Six months of your back hurting from the stance and then they take off on their own. Did he figure it out right away or did it take a few tries?
