I wasn’t going to blip CJ today… but important milestones can come out of the blue.

Tonight he decided he finally wanted to try his balance bike.

Next thing you know he was whizzing around the street.

I remember vividly the day that Dad taught me to ride a bike. A sort of coming of age of childhood.

The balance bike as a first step means CJ certainly won’t remember learning to ride as it adds a great easy to learn step to start with where they master balancing separately from pedalling.

He might not remember this evening in years to come, but I certainly will.
