Jumping Again

Look at this adult looking boy!

Today I took the day off.  I had a quiet one and just puttered around in the morning.  Levi wanted to know why I was having a day off and he wasn't.  He said;

"Who will look after you when you are sick and I am at school?"

It is a beautiful thought.   In the face of that how do you explain that in microseconds I would be entertaining him.  I did say that I thought that fairly quickly into the day he was going to want to play with his friends and they would all be at school.    

So in the afternoon after school we went to ride the bike at the BMX track in Eatons Hill.  We went with Luke and Nate, and Pete of course.  Pete said that last week a few bigger kids were building it up with shovels, and when they kept getting in the way he said something to the affect of;

"I know you feel some ownership here but can you stand back for the kids"

They were quite polite and he chatted with them through the afternoon.  He asked them how it was made.  They reported they had made it by connecting several hoses from a public tap and several hours of shovelling and then they continued it every Friday afternoon for several years.  As Pete said;

"I guess they did, in fact, own it!"

Levi is looking like a real bike rider now but still doesn't have the same confident look that the other kids do.  He had a bit of a stack today but there was no blood, so he struggled to find a reason to be so upset.  I caught the Pre and Post on camera.
