So many changes are happening in our lives every single day! In just 2 days, both of my boys became even more independent than ever. Yes, they mastered their own set of wheels! Well...in a way, they did. Zachary took the driving part of his driving test on Monday, October the 3rd and just as we expected him to, he passed and is now a legally licensed driver. It is a somewhat scary thought for me...knowing my son will be driving on the road by himself with all the crazy drivers out there! Sounds like I will be praying even more and possibly acquiring more grey hairs, I would prefer the first over the latter! Then on the very next day, Tuesday, October the 2nd, Zane learned to ride his bike!! It was rather interesting in how that came about too. For the past year or so, we had been trying to help Zane learn to ride his bike with the training wheels and learn to balance using them. But needless to say, it just didn’t happen! He didn’t like the way he leaned on the training wheels and usually ended up falling over, getting upset, and then finally quitting until the next time. Well, we were getting ready to go camping and I told him to try it again so that he could take it camping with us if he learned, but he didn’t want try it. So, I asked him if he wanted me to take off the training wheels and I could try to help him ride it that way. And to my surprise, he actually said yes! Off came the wheels and I walked with Zane to the alley, on he got and I gave him a steadying push and he took off riding like he had been riding his whole life!! My chin about hit the ground because I couldn't believe my eyes...and I think it surprised Zane as well. Needless to say, the training wheels should have come off a long time ago...but better late than never! As you can see, both of them are just as proud as they can be...and to be honest, so am I!!
