Ninety-Two Months of Frances, The Rising Second Grader

Ninety-Two Months Fun Fact

• Mobility:  This biking thing is a revelation.  When we were kids, biking on the carriage roads in Maine was frowned upon by certain patriarchs in our family.  It was considered too fast to allow proper appreciation of the scenery.  But here's the thing:  biking is fun.  When kids are having fun, they don't whine.  When kids aren't whining, adults are happy.  Thus, all hail the bike!  It's true, Frances's first ride on the carriage roads was not a smashing success.  She thought it was too bumpy.  But we will persevere, and I am sure Frances's endurance will improve.  We might even make it all the way around Eagle Lake sometime soon.  And if she bikes, her legs will get stronger.  If her legs get stronger, she'll have more fun hiking.  If she's having fun hiking, she won't whine.  Parents of young children, that light at the end of the tunnel is not an on-coming train!
