But this afternoon, once the laundry was put away, I made a healthy dinner and convinced J to ride his new big boy bike down to the basketball court.  A victory in itself, as he's been scared since trying to ride a too-big for him big boy bike and failing.

He rode around the court until he realized he really could ride it, and then sped home.  Upon coming to the garage, he said to me with a huge smile, "This day is a two thumbs up for me!  I love my new big boy bike!"  I was so excited and proud of him for being proud of himself that I ran over to give him a hug and promptly gashed my ankle on his training wheel in the process.  That's okay, it was worth it.

What a great way to end the day.
