Fear the future.

Sometimes I catch a glimpse of Clara's future and I get a little nervous.

I knew he could!!!

Steve went on a date Friday night. One of our topics of conversation was the fact that Thomas could not ride a two-wheeler yet. We tried teaching him a couple months ago, but he was too afraid to fall. Steve and I were more disappointed with ourselves due to the fact that we didn't make him try again. I told Steve that I KNEW he could do it, but just didn't realize it.

Saturday morning Clara and I had some baby showers to attend. We left the boys to entertain themselves. The minute I walked in the door, Thomas came running to me to tell me he learned to ride the 2-wheeler. He was SO excited, and so was I.

I asked Steve how long it took and he said, "maybe 10 seconds." He said he got him on the bike, started to run along with him and then let go. And that was that.

I'm so proud of him!!!

Big Brother

The first thing Thomas said when I picked him up from school yesterday was, "I'm going to get treasure box tomorrow!" He was so excited.

He woke up early today. The first thing he said when he came down stairs was , "I get to go to treasure box today!"

We drove to school, he talked the whole way about treasure box.

I picked him up from school today. The first thing he said when he got in the car was, "Clara, look what I got for you at treasure box today!"

I almost cried.

He is such a great big brother.
