The Zoe Chronicles - Not going to win the "Mother of the Year" award

Dear Zoe,

Today, Mommy and Daddy were so proud of you. You rode your pedal bike for the first time. AND you rode it like a pro. Push, push, pedal, pedal, whhhhhhhhhhhhizzzzzz! Woohoo! We freaked out. You know, sometimes you amaze even yourself.

Naturally, I videoed the whole thing. Video after video after video. Of you riding your bike like an expert. I mean, YOU'RE FOUR YEARS OLD. You rock.

We even got a video or two of our second child.

THEN.

When we came home from the park, I wanted to watch the videos I just took. I realized in horror that everytime I thought I was pressing "Record" I was actually pressing stop. Which means I have a lot of footage of the side of my jeans and the ground. There was even one amusing anecdote where I dropped RJ's phone and I said "Well, good thing there was a cover on his phone". Yup, that one will be played at our 50th anniversary party for sure.

We made you go back out to the park just so I could video it again. But, it was without all the whoops and hollars of the original.


Alas, Zoe, I'm sorry. Very sorry.

And I call my self an IT expert.
Humpf.

Love,
Mommy
