As we had intended (although a little later in the morning, perhaps) we headed off to the evil megastore and bought LOML a new bike: we would have bought it yesterday, but there wasn't enough room in the van, so this morning we made sure there was space, and headed off.
From there we went to the botanical gardens -- or more precisely, to the very large parking lot, where the children could cycle to their hearts' content.
LOML thinks the new bike is fantastic, and Boo is doing amazingly well, cycling back and forth at high speed, in full control of her bike. But today, I want to sing Skibo's praise -- a couple of days ago, for the first time, he rode without stabilizers. Yesterday he did okay. Today, he was incredible!
He rode like crazy; he learned to turn left and right in big circles, he learned to slow down, and turn in small circles, and best of all, he learned to start cycling from a full stop: it took Boo a good week or more to get that!
So, I'll sign off tonight as follows;
Yours, in praise of Skibo,
N.
