The Chalk

This was .25 seconds before I dove back from the boy trying to mark the camera lens. He clipped the outer casing. No harm done.



Notice the lower jaw... out and to the left.  This roughly translates to pure evil

The Bike



Calvin had I have been in a bitter battle over his learning to ride a bike. While after a few knock 'em down drage 'em out brawls to start the summer he's been riding the bike he got two years ago... as slowly as a bike can be ridden (actually he's been going even slower than you just pictured).



As of today he is now biking at a normal speed that you would expect of a human child. Thank god for the phenomenon known as skidding.



Next on the agenda is getting the above beaut ($5 garage sale style) in operation. Tonight he was willing to get on it just so I could check that the seat was the right height. Calvin thinks I'm one of those Dad's who would just let go when he gets some speed up.
