"I was working on cleaning out the garage last weekend, and as I wheeled David&amp;#039;s bike out I vowed to myself once again that we were going to work on getting him off those training wheels. He&amp;#039;s too big for the bike now, anyway, and at almost ten years old, the training wheels are slowing him down on the few occasions that a neighbor kid stops by and invites him to go riding. He&amp;#039;s done it here and there, and he managed just fine. He just doesn&amp;#039;t believe he can do it, so getting him to try is a serious battle. I told myself that I&amp;#039;d discuss it with Peter when he and I met to give the kids back. This would be the summer that David rides a two-wheeler! Yesterday, Peter emailed me a file and I couldn&amp;#039;t get it to open. It was some sort of video with no special title or anything. When we met to swap the kids, I asked him about it and he pulled it up on his phone. And there was David, laughing, shouting, pumping one fist in the air as he rode his new two-wheel bike with gusto. He did it!  And he did it at Dad&amp;#039;s, so I didn&amp;#039;t get to be there. Another milestone that I wasn&amp;#039;t there for. Like that first lost tooth and the time he finally tried steak and liked it - at Dad&amp;#039;s. It&amp;#039;s a wonderful milestone accomplished, but bittersweet because I wasn&amp;#039;t allowed to be in the moment with him. Not anymore. At least Peter was thoughtful enough to vide for me, though I&amp;#039;m sure he didn&amp;#039;t appreciate me throwing my arms around him and hugging him after I watched it. I couldn&amp;#039;t help myself. It was beautiful. Are you sad when milestones happen while your kids are away from home? "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
