I thought you were looking even rougher than normal when I saw you yesterday (that'll teach you for insulting my lack of lowered suspension)

 

Seems like Calvin is now one step ahead of his 'OLD' man!

 

you must be so proud chuck. Tis a great feeling when kids get the hang of this. alice, the younger of our two learned last year to ride, but had about a week of playing before the weather put pay to it, come a few weeks ago, we dust off the bike, expecting to have to teach again, when, to our suprise, off she goes and rides. God, she's better than I am, think I'll have to haul claud out of the garage and get riding.

I do have a masterplan though, as that biking lark is too much like exercise for my liking. My plan is to get my nice petrol R/C car going (needs new engine or pull starter) and then she can play with that, as she likes her r/c cars. Plus she can chase the cat and dog, or vice versa, with it

The other 'big one' is when they learn to swim on their own, it's a big laff getting a kid and chucking them into the deepish end of a pool and saying 'go on, swim!!!' hehehe!!! : (this is a joke OK, our's learned by me having to hold them in the shallow end of the pool. tis fun though, swimming is great!)
