Mak has been begging for a skateboard for Forever. I have been saying No for Forever. It just seems like a bad idea to me. I mean, putting my boy on an unstable little board on WHEELS?! Un-Unh. Not my baby. See, I’m kind of {hugely} a worrier and I could just see broken arms and awful gashes. I’m an over-reactor, too. \ud83d\ude09 But…the cute little boy begged and on Christmas morning there was a Spider Man skateboard sitting in his pile of loot. And knee pads, elbow pads, and safety gloves in his stocking. \ud83d\ude09 It rained all day on Christmas so there was no skateboarding, but the day after Christmas he was finally able to do it. And you know what?? He just jumped right on and DID it. No fear at all. He loved it and he was good at it. Do you ever have one of those weeks with your kid where they just seem to grow up right before your eyes? That was my week with Mak last week. Not sure what it was, exactly, but he is a KID to me, not a young child. He will be SIX this month. You have to use two hands to make 6, as my friend Jessica always tells me. That’s a lot!! Anyway, I didn’t intend this post to be all about my Baby Mak growing up. Sorry. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Here are some pics of my boy on a skateboard for the first time. He thought he was so cool! So did I. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
