Diving Boards & Two Wheelers: Big Week for Courageous Claudia!

This was a big week for my eldest daughter Claudia. She accomplished two significant milestones in the course of just a few days. The first is that on Saturday night she finally took the plunge ... literally ... and jumped off a diving board for the first time. The second is that on Tuesday she finally decided it was time to overcome her fear and try to ride her two-wheel bike. For an hour that night we worked with her and she fought through her anxiety and made some great progress. Tonight we went out again and within 15-minutes she had nailed it! I let go and jogged along-side her and she did it! For the next hour she was zipping around the parking lot at the church. I am such a proud papa! Mom and sissy are super proud of her too! Way to go Clau! Check out this amazing video!
