Scooter, bikes, and lawn mowing...

Nathaniel is nine and old enough to want to mow the lawn. Tuesday night

he surprised by mowing the lawn, (with dads supervision)

I came home from some meetings, and he was nearly done. Thanks Nathaniel I love you....

Caleb enjoys being outside running, jumping, scootering, or just anything

that doesn't include sitting down.... Ever since he turned one he has loved

to ride the scooter. These photos and video show him riding a beginners scooter, (it has

three wheels instead of two)

but he is usually riding Nathaniel's big scooter everywhere. I hate to say it but he

rides Nathaniel's scooter better than Nathaniel sometimes. My batteries on my

camera stopped working, just as Caleb decided to go to the top of the driveway and yelled "look mom!!" I was too far away to stop him. All I could do was think crap!! Let me explain our driveway is very very steep, and I have seen more than a few small children try

to fly down it on a bike or scooter and not succeed. They end up with a bloody lip or scrapped up hands and knees.

We have tried to explain to Caleb that he shouldn't ride the scooter down the driveway. Tonight he was a sight to see, he proceeded to ride down the driveway screaming "weeeeeeeeee" just as he is about to dart out into the rode, he turns the scooter on to the sidewalk, looks up at me, smiles and says "Again, Again" so proudly!!! My mouth dropped open with relief and amazement!! Two years old and not an ounce of fear!! Oh boy!!
