And as my friend Karen said,

"may your hearts be thankful and your stomachs be stretchy"

Two Wheeler

Tate is riding his two wheeler now without the training wheels.
I took the training wheels off and tried running along side of him, hanging on to the seat but he was to scared to trust me. He kept turning to look at me and make sure that I was there for him. After three of four times up and down the street he finally started trying for to actually ride. He got it really quick but noticed in our shadow that I wasn't hanging on just running along side and threw a fit. He was so mad at me and wouldn't let me help him any more.
I went in and got Gentry and ten minutes later was called back out to see Tate giving Daddy all the credit for teaching him how to ride a two wheeler.
There is no credit for the mommy.
He couldn't be prouder of himself

And I couldn't be prouder of him.
Good Job Tate!
You ROCK!
He even got the special plate for dinner.

Mishaps

Yesterday night I took some treats around to the ladies I visit teach and of course I stayed and chatted. When I did get home, this is what I found:


Luckily when she was all cleaned up, she looked like this:


So not as bad as it first seemed, but when I was scrubbing the carpet and couldn't get all the blood out I was sure thankful that I wasn't home at the time.
Gentry is just so level headed about this kind of thing.
I am not.
Enough said.
