277/365

Sunday was a wonderful day.
Kaden FINALLY got the confidence to ride his bike!!!!! He's had his bike for over a year and has been a little too timid to ride on his own. We've practiced with him over and over, but he's just been a little nervous.
Sunday we decided to try again.  I don't know what happened, but all that fear is gone and now he's is awesome! He LOVES his bike and rides it every day!
Today Brian picked him up from school so they could go on a bike ride at the park.  He thought he was pretty special to have the one on one time with dad.  For the long ride around the park,  Brian had bought him his favorite "sport" drink.  Gatorade Perfom.

Gatorade Perform is Kaden's drink of choice when he goes up skiing with Brian.  It makes him ski harder, jump higher, and ride down the hill faster.  He never goes to the resort without it.
                                                           It's a miracle drink.
When he got home from his bike ride today, he came in the house and told me how awesome he did bike riding. He said, "mom, that Gatorade Perform totally make me go faster than Dad on my bike! It worked so good! I bet I will be able to beat a purple belt at karate tonight!"
Then at karate, Brian said he was the first to volunteer to spar the higher belt kids and he was in their face the whole time.  He's usually pretty timid when he has to spar (fight other kids) but tonight, he still had Gatorade Perform in his system so he was on fire!!!
I'm so glad we are able to purchase the confidence enhancing miracle drink locally without a prescription.  We really lucked out.

Kade... you are awesome buddy!
