Proud Mommy Moments: Look, Mom...

Ryan got a new bike earlier this month.  We used our tax return.  He was chomping at the bit to get it.  We looked online at several different styles.  He got a Mongoose.  It even has pegs on the front wheels for stunts--that he will not be doing!  It's a cool bike.   Funny thing, stunt pegs and all, it had training wheels.  He was riding it all over the place.  And from about the third or fourth day, he wanted them off.  We put it off.  It rained.  We put it off more.  He got sick.  We put it off.  I got siiiiiiiick.  And finally, Rich took those training wheels off. 

We thought we would be spending the afternoon taking turns helping him balance.  And the night fighting over the corn bag.  But that simply wasn't the case.  Rich said it took longer to find the right size socket wrench than it did for Ryan to take off and ride.  He just did it.  So yep, like any true parent and blogger, I grabbed my phone and made a quick video!


He blew us all away that day.  So I guess it wasn't just me who was proud.  Do you have a proud moment?  Link up with EmmyMom and KMama!

Such a milestone! I remember when we took Punky's training wheels off. It feels like a million years ago.

A Leave of Absence

Image
I just wanted let you all know that I am taking a (short) leave of absence. I was feeling under the weather last Friday, and Saturday I was a lump. By Monday I felt almost normal again. Tuesday even better! By Wednesday night the whole left side of my face felt completely packed. Today(Thursday) I am at death's door. Or maybe it's at mine! All I know is, I haven't felt this crappy in a long time. I spent the day at my mom's and mostly slept. Thanks Mom. Now Rich is home and he is running the show. I shall return...as soon as I stop feeling like this.

Dancing with the Stars---Dead

That is how the show was introduced on Halloween night.  "Dead, from Hollywood, it's Dancing with the Stars!"  with your host, Tom Boooo-geron! Oh and Brooke who didn't get a play on her name.  Tonight, the dances are all spooktacularly themed.  Plus there is also a team dance. David and Kym 1-800-868-3406 David and Kym are dancing The Cha Cha and David wants to add magic to the act, so they bring in a professional magician to help with some basic tricks.  I enjoyed their Cha Cha.  It was fun. Len said it had  lots of tricks and treats and that David turned himself into a dancer! Bruno told him he has got the prestige, and that he was a natural at turning tricks. Carrie Ann said his improvement was phenomenal. She said he was polished and finessed, but that he needed to work on his holds. Scores: Carrie Ann:  8 Len: 8 Bruno: 8 Total: 24  JR and Karina 1-800-868-3410 JR and Karina are dancing the Tango to Ghostbusters...
