of bikes and boys
Description
sjoe, i thought my heart was going to fail today. raising a boy is so very very different from raising a girl. the risks that they take combined with the mishief that they get up to… its all quite a combo. Long may it last, and hopefully we can give jack a brother to get up to mischief with, and jessie a sister to play quietly with. 
Jack, who can still only take a few wobbly steps, has ALREADY started riding Jessie’s pink black bike! he can climb on and off of it all on his own and is starting to get the pushing action. i can hardly believe it!
THEN
we bought jessie (ok, and me ) a little 2 step step. she can reach the sink, the loo, the counters etc. Jack has started to climb it so i try to make it its positioned so that he cant climb it. Today i positioned it and then ran off to answer the phone. 5 seconds later, jack is very quiet. I walk into the kitchen, and there he is STANDING on the top step trying to clamber onto the kichen counter! My heart is still trying to crawl up from my stomach. But on another level, im so proud of his boy antics. he is such an adventurous boy!
