The saying is true...

Okay, so I've heard the expression, "It scared the pee out of me" all my life, and tonight I can testify that indeed you can have the pee scared right out of you!
Embry got a bike for his fourth birthday last week and has really done well riding up and down our street, so tonight we decided we would let him ride down to the park (in front of our neighborhood) with the rest of us walking along. Embry was doing great, so we let him get ahead of us a little and told him to stop and wait for us at certain landmarks. As he was riding along ahead of us I saw, in slow motion, my sweet little boy, on his cute little bike, with his Buzz Lightyear helmet on, loose control and swerve off the sidewalk, jump the curb and fly right in the middle of the busy road!! This is where the old saying came true, as I screamed and ran to my son. Thanks be to God that the driver of the car was actually watching the road and saw Embry in time to stop. Embry wasn't hurt at all, he cried out of fear (and my screams). When he calmed down he just wanted to continue on to the park like nothing had happened at all, however we had to head back home, because today Mommy was the one who had an accident and had to change pants!!
