Now we're rollin!!!!

Bibby,

I could not believe my eyes....today, you were waiting for Mer-Mer to come visit out in the driveway and I thought Daddy was doing yardwork, when I heard Mer pull in I ran out to meet her and could not believe my eyes; you were riding your bike...without training wheels!!!! We took them off a long time ago and have given it a shot every now and then but you have not been excited about it at all. Something just clicked today and you just got it. We loaded up in the back of the truck and went to Eastwood's parking lot...where I learned to ride to give you more space. Dad walked around right beside you the first few laps then your friend Hampton came by on his bike and you two took off together. He was so sweet trying to teach you how to get started on your own and by the end of the afternoon you had it down. You were so proud....and so were we. This has been the year that you have changed more than any other in your life. Started kindergarten, lost a tooth, learned to tie your shoe, learned to read, first spend the night out, starting soccer, won the science fair, school play....now riding a bike! I love watching you work at things and succeed. Virginia, you were really encouraging to her and had the best time "scootering" around behind her. You looooveee to scooter and sing while you do the sweetest--and funniest made up songs. I will blink and you will be peddling around yourself.
