MiniWarrior~ism

Lord V and I worked with MiniWarrior last week to try and teach him how to ride his bike.

As he is Autistic--it's been a labor because he spaces out and forgets to pedal and he doesn't get the whole "center your body so you don't tip over" thing.

Lord V and I took turns running beside MiniWarrrior, frantically hanging on to his bike and shoving ourselves against it to hold him upright. It was exhausting to say the least.

Monday evening I received a call from MiniWarriors Dad telling me that MiniWarrior had something to tell me.

Hi Mom!

Hi Baby.

Guess what?

What?

I learned to ride my bike!

You did?!

Yep, I sure did!

Oh my gosh! Congratulations, Son!

Thanks, Mom! I did like you said. I remember you sayin' about that kid who took 2 weeks to learn and how sometimes he fell and skinned his knees but he didn't give up and guess what?

What, Hun.

I didn't give up!


I'm so proud of you!

Yep. Me too. I'm proud too!

Wait. Wait. I've got to tell Lord V.

*bellowing up to Lord V in his library*

LORD V! MINIWARRIOR LEARNED TO RIDE HIS BIKE!

OMG! THATS WONDERFUL! CONGRATULATIONS!!

*proud little boy giggle on the phone*

Thank you!

I didn't give up, Mom. Just like you tole me. I didn't give up.




I'm all sorts of proud, Peeps. I got sappy, proud Momma tears.

Our MiniWarrior rocks.
