Rough Road

Bike riding today went fabulously.  Two hours into bike camp, Seamus was riding a two-wheeler solo!  Liam is incredibly jealous that his younger brother beat him to this milestone, though he is actually doing very well himself.  I am fairly confident that at this rate they will have both mastered bike riding by Friday.

Seamus was so eager to practice his new skill that we took to the road for a ride after nap.  I must tell you, he was pretty determined to put the pedal to the metal because it is far from easy to ride a bicycle given the miserable state of repair of our road, especially for a brand new pedal head.  It took Seamus a few tries to get going and unfortunately, he got thwarted by more than a few potholes.  Both boys got some good practice in and are good and tired again tonight. City of Ottawa - please re-pave our road!!

Not to be outdone, Alistair also excelled at something new today.  He ate his first ever rice cracker.  He held on to it with an iron first and licked it into submission.

He did so well, we may venture into rice cereal in the coming weeks.  It was a busy day of firsts for Gael Glen Farm's trio of mischief makers.  Maybe that is why I am so exhausted?!
