Today Joseph grew up a little, and today I learned to let go a little.
For the first time EVER he rode his bike to and from school all by himself.
He loved it and felt so grown up and independent.
I am still not loving the idea! While I was waiting for him to come home today, and not sure if he would do it again, Becki reminded me that Abby use to ride her bike home every day.
That can only provide so much comfort!
I use to walk home and ride my bike further to school when I was his age, but I was always with my sister.
I don't know if I will let him do it next year.
I guess if you see him riding next year you'll know I gave in.

I am so proud of you! I know how tough that is. I was terrified for the first year that I let Abby do it. My only consolation is that it is A LOT harder to kidnap or hurt a kid while they are riding their bike. Bad guys are more likely to go for kids walking. Also, there is only one major road they have to cross. All that helps. You did good girl and I am sure you will let him do it again some day!
