This afternoon Chris had his 5th grade graduation. He is moving on to Middle School now. He may be ready for this step, but I am not real sure that I am. They had a little program this afternoon at the school where they handed out "diplomas" to all the 5th graders.

Then this afternoon, Ben decided that he was ready for the training wheels to come off of his bike. We thought it would be a few hours of helping him get enough confidence to do it on his own.....we were wrong. One house up from ours Chad let go of the bike and Ben took off...he never looked back....just kept pedaling and has been going ever since. After about a half hour of riding around, he took of his elbow and knee pads and told me, "Mom...I don't need these any more". ...yes...my baby is getting big!
Here they go.....Chad used the bar for all of 30 seconds...then Ben was on his own!
And he's off!

All the neighborhood gang came out to support Ben...they formed a circle around him and cheered him on...they were great!

My baby
All smiles and a big thumbs up!

Tiffany, I don't want to believe that your kids are growing up so fast! Little Ben, he's supposed to be a little toddler still... And Chris cannot be starting middle school!! Stop it!
Uncle Brian will be proud!
Congratulations Chris and way to go Ben!!!!
Go buddy go.
There's always the option of having another baby, then you wouldn't have to see your "baby" ride off into the sunset.
