Today I am home sick, I have the starts of a cold or a flu,
something. So I got to see the daily ritual of getting the Boy ready
for school. Wow, I have even more respect for my Beautiful Wife
(and I have tons of respect for her). So as you've read earlier
the Boy can now ride a two wheeler, no training wheels required. His
riding has really clicked, and that is all he wants to do, so this
morning he comes in at 6:00am, and tells us he is ready to ride his
bike. Nevermind that it's still dark and 48 degrees outside. Anyhow we
get up and get ready for the day, and notice the Boy isn't anywhere to
be found in the house, we go outside and there he is riding his bike in
his PJs and socks. He says "it's okay, I put my socks on!" So here is
where the trouble comes in, the kid part of me wanted to grab my bike
and ride with him and the adult part, said, we have to get him off the
bike and ready for school.
Well he made it to school on time, but is expecting to go for a ride
after school. It's a good thing I've been riding more lately, the Boy
has just taken off with it. He is pedaling standing up and riding in
circles. If he gets much faster, I am going to have to let some air out
of his tires
