Today you proved that when you set your mind on something you can and will overcome any challenge set before you! Out of the blue you decided you'd like to learn to ride your bike without training wheels. You and daddy set to work with your "man tools" and took off the training wheels which have long been your safety net. Daddy helped you twice on the grass and on the third try you were off pedaling and balancing all on your own! You couldn't have been more proud of yourself!!! Watching you tonight was an absolute DELIGHT!! You approached the challenge with just the right attitude, you were going to try until you figured it out, quitting wasn't an option! This my son, was a HUGE accomplishment for you! As a second generation perfectionist you don't like to fail, you are all too fond of the phrase "I can't" and more often than I'd like, you quit something that you can't easily master! But tonight, you set your mind and persevered and you just went for it!! Mommy and daddy are so very proud of you buddy, but more importantly you were SOOOOO proud of yourself!!
Try number three on the grass.
Less than an hour later riding in circles in an empty parking lot down the street!
You were so proud of yourself that we let you ride until well past bedtime!
While I would never normally give you froyo at 9 pm at night, today we thru caution to the wind and decided to celebrate you like crazy and speak words of encouragement and praise over you!
A few years ago daddy and I spent some time choosing "life verses" for you and Kaelyn. We'd already noticed your fear of failure and when we read this verse we knew it was the perfect fit! Tonight was a great opportunity to remind you of this verse! It couldn't be more perfect for you buddy!
Congratulations buddy!! The sky is the limit for you kiddo!! Be strong and courageous, do not be a afraid or discouraged because your God is with you wherever you go!
Love, Mommy
