What's my motivation?

This is a line my son picked up from S.pongebob. My usual reply is, "How about a knuckle sandwich?"

Of course, you all know I am kidding.

Yesterday goes down in (our) history as the day The Boy rode his bike without training wheels.

What a difference a year makes. Last year, at 4 1/2, we tried and tried but he just couldn't get the hang of it. Now, at 5 1/2, he was ready. I had him going in less than 15 minutes and at the end of the day he was starting off by himself and turning around while pedaling instead of getting off of the bike. He was also standing up to pedal, and leaving skid marks when he stopped.

This kid is sure to take me on one wild ride through life.

The Boy just told me on Sunday that he wanted the training wheels off his bike. See, he wants motorcycle and MFH told him he can't have one until he can ride a bicycle on two wheels.

Now he knows the meaning of motivation.
