Jeana biking

I love my life and have to say, I really don't have much to complain about. Yes, I have a spouse that has chosen a difficult and extremely busy career path, but most of the time, I'm okay with that. I feel like he is putting his ability to good use and because he loves what he is doing and I am a fairly independent person, I am okay with this, most of the time. However, there are a few moments where I feel a little bitter, one of those is the picture below. I remember when my neighbors moved in I was shocked their 9 year didn't know how to ride a bike without training wheels. Well, my eight-year-old still can't. There are two reasons for this: 1. She is an extremely cautious person 2. Her dad hasn't had the time to teach her. (insert bitterness.)

Her uncle gave her a quick lesson on this particular day, but she gave up pretty quickly. If her dad had the time, which he hasn't, he would have made her keep trying. Where am I in this equation? Well, currently almost 8 months pregnant and well, there are somethings I really believe are just Daddy jobs, there aren't many, but on my list, teaching a kid to ride a bike is.

In Dave's defense, this was the hardest summer and though next summer will still be busy, Dad will have a little more time and as motivation, I have already decided to give her a bike for her 9th birthday... to think this all came about because I was judging my neighbor for not being able to ride a bike at age 9.
