After hanging unused in our hall closet for the last few months I decided to clean out and throw away our very well used diaper bag. It was the one I got while pregnant with Brooke and it has been in heavy use for five and a half years. On one hand I am very happy to not be changing diapers but on another we have had to for so long that AJ suggested I give it a hug before I throw it away.
As you saw yesterday, Brooke has outgrown her bike. So we decided to get her a new one today. I think the smile on her face says how she feels about it. She was a little nervous getting on it at first, asking me to hold on and run beside her. I did, but barely was touching the seat with my hand as she rode it from the start. She did a great job balancing all on her own and eventually I just let go and she kept right on biking and smiling.
AJ wanted to go to dim sum now that he was back from his conference. We had a delicious meal and Brooke took down at least five shumai on her own! Yummy!
We went on a bike ride in the dark now that it’s getting dark earlier. Laura thought having the glow sticks would make it even more fun, and she was right.
I went to Dallas this week for a medical director’s conference, and while I missed being at home with Laura and the kids I still had a good time learning, catching up with Adam Dawson (an old high school friend who I ran into) and playing poker.
