Cycling Dude

As I may have mentioned before, Taylor has been learning to ride a two-wheeler in the basement. Daddy took off the training wheels and away he went. It didn't take Taylor long to get over his trepidation [video below].



I promise that our first order of business this spring is to buy Taylor an appropriately-sized bike!

Embarrassed

Yesterday, Taylor's teacher called to let me know that Taylor had headed home later than usual due to a bathroom break. I decided to take Averi to meet him on the way home (Daddy had arrived home early and could watch Ella). We met him about halfway...

Taylor: Sorry I'm late.
Me: No worries. Your teacher called me.
Taylor: I know.
Me: It's good that you went to the bathroom before coming home so you didn't pee your pants again.
Taylor (eying a passing older child): Mom, you said that right when another kid was here.
Me (smiling a little): Did that embarrass you?
Taylor (matter-of-factually): Yes.
Me (smiling a lot): Sorry!

My boy's getting older! He was very calm about the whole thing but it's very easy to see one of the girls dramatizing it a bit.

Love

Last evening, as we were sitting down to dinner, Taylor remarked to Averi that she was stuck sitting near Ella. Averi replied that she was fine with that because she loves her. She went on to say, "She poops in her pants but I still love her!"

Isn't that a parent's sentiment?  ;)
