My Baby's Growing Up!

My little boy ain't so little anymore! He's been making amazing growth this summer ... take a look at what he's been doing:

Earlier this week he learned to ride a bike. He had a bike with training wheels on that he rode but 4 years ago when we suggested taking the training wheels off he balked! And showed no interested whatsoever in riding a bike after that. This week and last he has been attending McMaster Sports Fitness School and enjoying Outdoor Adventure and Orienteering. Well as part of Outdoor Adventure, the group was going mountain biking ... Connor of course couldn't go. So that very night he said he wanted to try and within 20 minutes he ws riding a bike!

Tonight he's at overnight camp with his group from Mac. They are camping and tubing at Elora Gorge ... he should have a BLAST.

Next week however is going to be hard ... he's going to his first overnight camp for the week! He's going to Canterbury Hills ... it's only in Ancaster but it's his first time away for 5 days! The longest we've been apart is 3 nights and that's when I've been away and he's at his Grandmas. This time I'm at home and he's away ... it's gonna be tough!

I said to him last night ... "You're going to be away all next week." He said "Yes, get used to it Mom." ... He's obviously ready ... I'm not!
