Let's hear it for the boy

Finally! Seth has been trying for months to learn how to ride that bike of his and he's finally done it. I thought he was doomed to a life of being uncoordinated, but it seems I was mistaken. He mustered up his courage and just took off down the driveway without so much as a "here, let me help you" from me. I laughed and laughed just watching the pure joy and freedom on his face as he cruised down the driveway. My laughter quickly turned to horror, however, as he neared the garage door and I began to wonder if he knew how to use the brakes. Turns out he did, thankfully, and he screeched to a halt in the nick of time. I have never seen him more proud of himself!
