Bikes, books and pre-school date approaches

As usual, nothing is really straightforward around here, so I'll just tell all, and let you make sense of it all. After the crazy day that was Christmas, we said NO MORE TOYS !!! So why am I showing you a video of Megan with something new ? Well...It was supposed to be her birthday present, but of course, once she saw it, like a girl...she simply had to have it !So after squeezing it into the back of the car, and Megan staring at it longingly, we made our way home...I was kinda hoping to save it til her birthday, We only bought it because of the January sales, but now she has it, I must admit we are having lots of fun.It hasn't taken her long to get into the swing of it..Ok, she hasn't really mastered the peddling yet, and her steering can be a bit frightening, but apart from that, she's really good !

It's the duty of every day to teach his kid to ride, isn't it ? So with all of the curtain twitchers in the walkway watching, I'm teaching my little princess how to ride her bike.What else has happened..Let me think...The mountain of books that people bought Megan for Christmas are being read at an amazing rate...Not by her !

But then I guess every parent says that, but it is hard not to be biased. Joe jingles starts again this week, so I guess we will see what she is like around older children. I hope that she can hold her own, and not be intimidated by them. I wasn't happy about her going up a class, but I will see how it goes...She starts pre-school soon, and so I am trying to make sure she is ready for it. But the truth is, am I ready for it ? It's not going to be easy letting her be in the hands of virtual strangers. I guess I'm the more stricter of parents than Gay. I like her to have things set in cast iron ( meal times, bedtimes ) So it's going to be odd letting someone else take care of her for a few hours..I'm sure it will be fine...No really..I'm sure it will be
