On Sunday, we took Sadie's training wheels off and had her practice in the grass a few times. She wobbled a bit, but did well! By the next morning, she moved onto the driveway and then within minutes the cul-de-sac. She was off and pumping without any hesitation. As she rode away to the end of the street for the first time there was a moment where my eyes teared up. What a metaphor for this time in my life when my youngest is leaving the preschool years behind her. As she rode away, she was singing a little song to herself feeling so happy with her newest accomplishment. As I fervently try soak up this last month being home with her, I need to try to let the sadness go and keep that joyful song in my heart. I've been so blessed to spend every day with her and watch her grow. So, while a few tears may trickle, I'll remember to sing :0).
