Look Out, Mat Hoffman
Dylan has been begging for Mark to build him a jump for his bike. He did. It was about 12" off the ground, and Dylan has been practicing riding over it. Last night, Mark suggested that we go to the nationally accredited BMX track very close to our home. The first time around the track, Dylan barely made it over the small jumps, and didn't even come close to going over any of the bigger ones. This came to no surprise since the track is pretty difficult, and some of the jumps were bigger than he is.
After the first run, we weren't sure that he'd want to try it again. After some encouragement, Dylan said that he would try it on his own. Oh Boy.
This video is a collection of his second and third tries at it. It is probably boring to watch for those of you who don't want to see a five year old ride a bike, but my family may want to see it. Some of the video is grainy- I had the settings all wrong on the camera, but you can get the general idea.
In addition, I will leave you with some memorable quotes from the kids from this past week:
Dylan: Mom, I was watching that show on baby giraffes, and did you know that baby giraffes come out of their mom's butts? And orange pee too. I've never seen orange pee before.
(Dylan was out in the field trying to catch something.)
Dylan: The bunnies are mad at you for cutting their flowers.
Jordan: Go for a ride on the wagons, mom?
Sarah: No, Jordan.
Jordan: Wagons need new batteries?

kids are just such wonderful gems and say the darndest things. I think he is doing great on his bike. Keep taking him back to the track, he'll get use to it and ride it faster and faster each time. Go Dylan!
Did someone say motorbike for Christmas?
Damn, Sarah - would you please record my memorable moments and set them to music? I swear they won't all be pornographic...(I'm uber impressed with Dylan's bike skills and your creative ability to capture those moments. Wow.)
