When I asked my daughter if she wanted to ride the tandem with me this morning she said, "Well, I was going to play with my friends. But sure, okay!" I was pleased that the prospect of riding with me on the tandem ranked higher on the fun-scale than running around the neighborhood with her girl-pals... at least for today.
But, a little bit later, as we pedaled away from the house together, my heart quite simply brimmed over with happiness when she asked, so knowledgeably, "Can we ride up Schultz to Onceler and then do Moto and Easter Island?"
Our little nerd-girl (the one who loves
Star Wars; who's reading Harry Potter book 5 now; who digs musical theater)
knows the trails. And loves them. Has her favorites and plans a route to include them in her ride. Wow.
We could not have picked out a kid more well-suited to us if we'd placed a special-order for her at
The Kid Store.
Love this kid.
