That is so great! Freedom for him and freedom for YOU. Tara is 13 and we only just recently started allowing her to ride her bike, alone, to the other end of our property. We live on a dead-end dirt road with only two other homes. So far...so good. But she doesn't pay attention to what she is doing and could easily end up in the ditch if a bug flew by or a raindrop fell. My 5 yr old, on the other hand, I can trust to ride anywhere on his own. It is amazing because he was exposed to more alcohol than she was in utero and he is not nearly as affected... I am SO jealous that your kid can be trusted with other kids! That is so great!
