success!

julius and i have been practicing his biking. we live next to pasinger stadtpark so there is lots of room to practice. today was only our 3rd go at it, and he said "let go, let go!" i skeptically let go and he was able to bike all by himself! generally he has an awesome sense of humor so when he crashes (which he only did twice), he just starts cracking up. at first he looked like a drunk driver but each time he was able to go straighter and longer distance! it was so cute! he was so excited. after he got really stable, i said lets go home to mom and show her. the whole family came out to the street to watch julius bike! and as he showed off his new skills, the entire family ran down the street with him cheering (and preventing him from running into any mercedes and bmws that line our street). it was such a joyous moment for the "our" family! they were not only proud of julius, but me too!
