About a year and a half ago, my Princess Ballerina outgrew her tricycle, and, with her birthday money, bought a big two-wheeler. As we watched her ride, Nappy quickly piped up, "Now her bike is my bike since she doesn't need it any more, right Mom?"
Of course, in my limited thinking, I thought, There is no way you're going to ride that bike!
But, of course, I never SAID that. I learned a long time ago that I just simply should not tell my girls that they can't do something. If they try and fail, that's just a part of life. Everybody fails at some things, and succeeds at other things.
So, instead I said, "Sure, you get the bike!"
And I resigned myself to sitting on the front porch, watching Nappy sit on a bike.
I was so incredibly wrong!
I love it when I'm wrong!
