My son ventured out of the parking lot and out onto the sidewalks/street to ride his bike today. Me? I walked/jog/ran behind him. Good work out for me, but boy do I want a bike now!
I don't know if I mentioned this before or not, but I realize that part of my job as a parent is to help my children succeed.
Not the fake "everyone gets an award" success, but the honest-to-goodness "I've worked hard" success. I guess that is why this year, our theme for school is "I can do hard things".
I want to succeed at the hard things, I want them to succeed at the hard things and I want all of us to achieve hard things together.
Finding ways for my son to succeed at riding his bike was hard - and sometimes I failed in my job - but the hard work (his and mine) have finally paid off. That is the good kind of success.
Hopefully I am applying that same lesson to myself with this walking journey...
Happy Walking!
