3 YEARS, 4 MONTHS, 15 DAYS....

i really wanted to hang on to him for as long as i could. he is my last. i wanted to keep him a baby just a little while longer.(3 is still a baby in my book) for selfish reasons of course. but nothing can slow him down. he has his own agenda. and that agenda wants to move along at lightning speed and be as independent as possible. this week we are in boise, idaho. tyler thought he could ride his bike without training wheels. i thought no way he is just not ready. tyler was right. he helped him a few times and then josey just took off. just like that. and when he stopped he said.."no way! i did it all by myselves"... His super freakish coordination continues. Maybe it is because he is so close to the ground. i don't know. he has been riding his bike for two days now taking off by himself and i am amazed. now he is trying to do little tricks just like his big brother. i am now just waiting for the big first crash. maybe then i can baby him one more time.
