Lent Day 23B: The Driveway

     A bonus post for today.  Well actually its because there wasn't a post yesterday.
Carson wanted to ride his bike down the driveway by himself without any help.  Kathy was a little hesitant.  Daddy...not so much.  Then he rode all the way down the driveway across the street and up the other driveway, when he fell down simply trying to turn too quickly.  Oops.  Figures he would get through the hard part and then crash on the easy part.  The way I figure it, there was no blood so he was okay.  I'm sure there is some metaphor that would work here about having to "let go" or "they need to learn."  So you can insert your thought here:
     Carson is getting braver and braver each time he tries something and the scary or nice thing is that he wants to do almost everything by himself.  I wonder if he wants to show everyone how big he is and the way for him to do that is to insist on doing it himself.  Well, I guess eventually he will be trying to ride his bike without training wheels and probably fall down a time or two.  Here's hoping he recovers as quickly then as he did today.
