Evel Knievel

So there I was, standing in the kitchen cleaning the table.  Something catches the corner of my eye...

I know he's been doing this for awhile now.

I'm not sure how he figured out that he can do this or even why he thought of it.

I've stopped trying.  I mean what goes on in that little brain?

At least he's wearing his safety goggles.

Oh yeah, and he makes sound effects while he pops the wheelie.  Although, it isn't really a wheelie.  It's more like a super reclined recumbant bike, John-style.

He is so adorable.  Heartbreaking isn't he?

To Dream a Little Dream

Conversations with John are interesting, to say the least.  Tonight at dinner time we were talking and he asked me what my dream was last night. 

Wednesday Weigh-In

I just realized that I forgot to weigh in last week. Okay, that's a lie. I weigh myself every day. I forgot to blog last week about my weekly stuff. So I'll update now.

Knight in Shining Armour

John went to Nevaeh's birthday party this past weekend. I can't believe she's 2 years old. It was a costume party. We heard that Nevaeh was going to be a princess so we found a knight costume for John. But trust me, I tried to find Prince Charming.

What Would You Do?

Whenever I watch the Primetime show "What Would You Do". I mean it really makes me think about my actions. I like to live by the quote "A true test of a man's character is what he does when no one is watching".

But when it comes down to it, do I really live by those words?

What about a homeless man laying on the sidewalk? Should I stop and bend down and see if he was okay? What if he isn't? What does that say about my character?

What about a lady crying? I like to think that it is because I don't want to intrude, but would it kill me to politely ask if she's okay?

I like to think that when it matters I would step up. But would I? Or would I avert my eyes and not want to get involved?

I know Steven would be one of the first people to step up and get involved, but would I?

I'm not sure if I would. I'd like to think I would but I just don't know. I just don't know.

Sure I'm nice. I'm a good person but would I put myself out there? When it would inconvenience me or put me outside of my comfort zone, would I?

Silence is one of the failures of our generation. Should we be silent or stand up for what we believe in? At what cost?

Best Day

Who would have thought that the definition of a great day would be crawling around at the Jungle Gym?

Another Milestone, Steven-style

Other kids have playdates. Mine? He's at the driving range with his dad.

Now I understand how kids get started golfing so young. And it's not the parents (well, not all the parents), John loves golf. He likes watching it on TV (BOOO).

I'm glad that he gets to experience all these things that life has to offer. I just want John to be able to choose anything that he wants. I like that he has choices. We've been able to give him opportunities.

I still can't believe that he's got his own set of golf clubs.
