One day, quite recently - when I wasn't looking - my little baby boy grew up. He put on his brave face and helmet, confidently climbed onto his brand new bicycle, complete with flag and carrier, and set off into the big wide world.
Well, actually it was just up and down our driveway and on the road in from of our house; but that's what it felt like, to me anyway, riding off into the sunset on his own. He was in that moment, a "big boy", although it shouldn't have surprised me considering the amount of times he reminds me of this point daily.
Of course, Sophia was just as proud of him and her new helmet too! But admittedly, she did get a bit bored of the whole exercise after a while and decided to chase after guinea fowl to feed them, and then spotted the next door neighbours' puppy. Game over!
Enjoy the video montage & look out for the sense of accomplishment on Christopher's face for getting it right - not without some tumbles of course!

My heart swells with pride every time I look at these pics!
Thanks to Mommy & Matty for the bicycle and accessories, and to my brother Stephan, for bringing it back from Germany and putting it together for one excited little boy.
