When my kids finally learned how to ride a bike, it was as momentous to me as when they walked or said their first word. I do a lot of yelling and cheering and I have even been known to get teary eyed!
We tried working with Carra last summer, but she never seemed to catch on. She spent all morning Friday pestering Buff to remove the training wheels and teach her to ride. Seriously, one of Carra's qualities is persistence (whether that is good or bad depends on what she wants).
Buff took her to the park, she jumped on and rode to the end of the parking lot. Now we can't hear the end of it! She still needs a bit of practice stopping (a very important development), but I have a feeling that she will have it by the end of the day!

I am struck by the darkness of the bottom of their feet.
Yeah, I originally intended to crop that out . . . but since the heading of the post was "Life" I figured I better leave it in - because it is the norm at our house!
Tina, that is too funny. I also have two boys (not quite as similar looking) who have that exact same look when playing Lego Star Wars. So, my answer to the multiple choice is a definite C :)
First of all, where is Carra's head protection? I'm keeping trac for mom-of-the-year just in case it comes down to the two of us.
And the answer to the trivia question is... They do have the Hawk ability to sit in front of the TV or PS3 for hours on end with out movement. That is unless they need to move because someone is inbetween them and their target. Oh yes, the answer is C.

Are you sure it's not B?
My lecturing/teaching does this to my kids except their eyes are glazed over and their tongues hanging out.
Hmmmmm that's a tough one.
