D'Arcy Developments

Last week some time D'Arcy wanted to ride his bike so we got it out, got the helmet on, and then I looked out the front door..."blossie, it's about to rain". And then the sky opened up as it only can in summer here. Ten minutes later the sky was almost clear and I said "OK. Now we can go". So we went out to the oval near our house and D'Arcy rode all along the bike path, through all the puddles and loved it. He's gaining confidence on the bike and we had a little go with no training wheels, but it was a bit hard, so we put them back on again. We have visions of longer and more exciting bike rides - to the pool and the shops...finally some freedom from the car! Tomorrow I pick him up from his dad's and we go off to playgroup (not much longer there as school starts next year!) Then we're off looking at a house we might buy, if we like it enough and it looks like it won't fall down too soon....another week of snuggling and hanging out.
