I could not believe it when Nicholas told me he wanted needed a skateboard. I still can’t. So, we bought gear and borrowed a board from the neighbor “kid”. Nicholas watched as “kid” kindly demonstrated his skills–sans shirt and gear, but he had the forethought to put on actual shoes. At the age of 20, “kid” could still ride. Nicholas was impressed. Heck, I was impressed. Perhaps because the day before, Daddy demonstrated his “skills” too. We were not so impressed with his drop-and-roll.

For now, Nicholas can push. We are currently working our way up to placing both feet on the board. None of us are in a great hurry.

He’s getting so big, I almost don’t recognize him.

“Want to hear something funny, Mommy?” Nicholas asked me. “When Olivia tries out a new friend at school, she says, ‘You are my Best Friend Forever!’”

Irony at age five!
