Firsts

The problem with having children of different ages is that they do things for the first time at different times. And almost always, it is the older who does something first: even if the second child does it at a younger age, it is hard to remember that.

Boo had decided recently that she wants to ride her bicycle without her training wheels: so this morning we took the wheels of and LOML ran behind her holding the saddle, over and over again.

Mind you, I think on this score we might remember that Skibo rides without training wheels younger: he looked almost ready today --- and LOML ran up and down behind him too. It won't be long, I think.

Yours, unready for life without training wheels,
