Nothing tops moments like these!

Benching 400? Hitting 200 or 300 on the scale for the first time? Coming first in an event? For me this weekend it was the simple act of seeing my five year old daughter for the first time ridding a big girl bike with no training wheels and without my aid. To see the smile and sense of accomplishment that a simple moment like this can bring is truely awesome. The next day I couldn't get her off the bike. Pure Joy. Better than damn near anything I can think of.

It cerainly breaks the monotomy of providing meal plans, training advice and hanging around big smelly guys. Damn it was good.

Yeah! I remember my baby taking her first steps. That was 19yrs ago. Time sure does fly.

True indeed

It is something experiencing things with your kids that it only seems like yesterday you were doing yourself. Can't stop father time.

I can certainly relate man, I raised a daughter on my own for the most part and I do remember those special moments well, it's good that your cherishing them because they will be over before you want them too. My baby is 18 now and still a great kid but I just miss those times SO MUCH now.

In the midst of hectic lives you definately have to savour what is really special.
