The Thrill of Victory and the Agony of the Lip

It's been a big day around here. Little Otis learned to ride his bike without training wheels. On a whim, Big Otis decided to try and help him learn. He never dreamed it would work! But with just a couple of instructions, one being,"it's like driving a car!", (who teaches their kid to drive before riding a bike?!!?) and a push, and off he went. He was soooo excited and proud of himself. We were too. After dark, we surfed the web for a new bigger bike! You go O!
And then there is Payton. He fell on Friday afternoon and almost bit his lip off. It is healing, but it sure scared me. A few hours in the ER later, and there was nothing they could do, but I felt better and he was running up and down the hospital bed. Maybe he won't be the calmer one. With two active boys, I bet that won't be the last trip either.

There is nothing better to impress the furture Mrs. Payton that a few scares... The chicks dig it, as the song goes. As for Little O GOOD JOB!!!! Just watch out for the curbs. Erin took one out when she started to ride.
