You Just Have to Believe in Yourself!

Cam borrowed our friends bike & pull behind trailer yesterday to take Adi for a ride. We've been contemplating whether or not to get one, so before jumping in and buying one he decided to try one out first. Adi had a blast, confirmed by expressions such as, "Wow Dad, that was amazing!"

Before we returned it (up the street) I took it for a little spin myself. It's been years since I've ridden a bike and I was a little wobbly starting out. Adi kept encouraging me, "You're doing a good job mom!" and "See mom, you can do it!" I really wasn't sure about making it up the hill but when I spoke of my doubt Adi responded with, "You can do it, mom. You just have to believe in yourself." OK, so I have no idea where she got that or how she could possibly be growing up so fast as to be my personal mini-cheerleader but you better believe I made it up that hill after encouraging words from my little girl!
