My Little Boys Rides Free

He learned to ride his bicycle without training wheels.



I hate to admit this...ok...I didn't BAWL...but I did some crying.

My baby boy. Just look at him....this was...YESTERDAY!



Hayden spent the first part of last week with his Nannie & Pepaw. The boy would live there if he could. He loves to fish and play golf...and that's what he does when he goes to Nannie & Pepaw's house. And he plays with Specka Pepper the weenie dog that I promise must have Pepper blood b/c she is treated like one of my siblings...and I don't remember having a sister growing up... :)

Hayden got a new bike at Nannie & Pepaw's because his old one...well...I think he rode the tires flat. It would not hold air, and Pepaw had already changed the tube once.

Hayden begged Pepaw to take the training wheels off...but Pepaw would not. He told Hayden that his Daddy would do that.

Well evidently the child has already learned how to slip through the back door to get things done. A little boy from across the street rode over while Hayden and Pepaw were on the riding lawnmower. Pepaw says that Hayden got off the lawnmower very quickly...and Pepaw didn't think much of this until....He looked up to find HAYDEN RAY EHLERS riding down the street on this little boys bicycle! ALL BY HIMSELF! See it makes my eyes water now!

I am just a tad bit proud.

He couldn't wait to show me his new talent, and did so at a cafe in Dickins, TX at 8:30 p.m. - DARK. He rode until...he crashed in the soft gravel. Yes. We've had lots of crashes lately.

After we got home he showed David that he could ride (this was at about 10 p.m.), and he rode...until he wiped out in the driveway. Please don't think this holds him back because if he does more than bat an eye we wouldn't notice.

This is the same child that basically taught himself to swim.

Oh. This thought just occurred to me. Please pray for us. The boy has no fear.
