It seems the older I get the more I realize how, I really can't do anything. I mean I can do a little of this or a little of that but I am not the BEST at anything I do. My son Ethan, on the other hand, he can do anything. Just ask his cousin Levi. lol! I went to see Holly yesterday and we spent the day running around Dayton, till we were exhausted and broke. We got back to her house and Ethan was playing outside with Gavin (5) and Levi (11).
I was talking to Holly and looked out the window to check on them and, caught my breath, I said "Oh Holly, you don't think Levi will let go of him to you?!!" Levi was pushing Ethan on his bike....a bike so tall Ethan's feet could barely touch the pedals.... Holly said " Oh, No, He wouldn't let him go!" As soon as she said that, Levi gave Ethan a big shove down the sidewalk, I started screaming running out the door and across the yard screaming the whole way 'LLLLEEEEVVVVVIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Up till I ran out the door screaming Ethan had balanced the bike pretty good....once I started screaming he lost his balance and fell to the sidewalk...then he started screaming and running towards his crazy panicked...and by now laughing a little hysterically mother! I picked him up and checked him out he was fine and had stopped crying before we even got in the house. Holly who was in shock and embarrassment cause all the neighbors outside starring with dropped jaws was already back in the house.....laughing uncontrollably. Levi was scared to death that I was going to be mad, but I knew even before I asked what had happened. HOlly starts in "Levi! Why did you let go of him?! He can't ride a bike?!" Levi said " He said he could ride a bike without training wheels and I asked him if he was sure and he said Yeah!" I was still laughing and Ethan was hiding his head in my chest, I turned to Levi and I said "Oh, He can drive my van too....can't you Ethan?!" Ethan looks up and nods his head Yes! with that lil' grin on his face!
I think there are some kids who should never be read "The Little Engine That Could" ....and Ethan is one of those! lol!
That is too funny, wish I could have been there, and would have loved the day out with you two, miss you both!!
