Last Thursday was an eventful day for FABJ indeed. After dinner, FABJ was going to practice biking in the lane (i.e. alley / shared driveway), as she sometimes does on pleasant evenings and weekends. However, LBJ thought it would be good for her to get a bit of practice in our garden (i.e. backyard). That way, she might be a little less scared because any fall would be on grass rather than pavement. Clearly it worked, as FABJ was able to cycle down the lane without any assistance beyond a gentle push to get her started. She still struggles with that one, but it's great that she can now ride her bike. Needless to say, she was very excited. LBJ was also quite pleased with herself (rightfully so) for her expert instruction.
ORBJ was practicing on her scooter as well, and she was going pretty fast. However, unlike FABJ, ORBJ still has not mastered the art of using the brake. This is a bit of a concern, as we live near the bottom of a non-trivial hill (at least by Dublin standards - for SF, it would be pretty wimpy).
But wait, there's much much more. (Imagine a ginsu knife commercial from the late 70s / early 80s....)
FABJ was also in a good mood last week because she had her first wobbly tooth. While brushing her teeth (while getting ready for bed), the tooth fell out! You should have seen the expression on her face - a combination of complete surprise and excitement. Sadly, it turns out that the tooth fairy in our house seems to pay less than in my colleagues' houses, but I didn't discover this until the next day. Besides, the money really isn't the point. In fact, I suspect she has no clue where the money is now anyway.
