Peter got a new bike for Christmas. He is getting the hang of it, and enjoys riding around our neighborhood. Sounds super fun, right? Well, it is...........but, Peter is quite possibly the slowest bike rider in the universe. Ever heard of the Tortoise and the Hare? Well, he puts that tortoise to shame. He embodies the "slow and steady" attitude. The good news is that Peter's friend, Connor, enjoys the slow speed as well. The other day we decided to take a bike ride to the park. The boys had a blast, even though they were eating Catherine's dust as she sailed past them in her stroller. I always tell Lizzy to slow down and enjoy the journey. That life isn't a race, and if you move too quickly you miss everything that is happening around you. I guess Peter is reminding me of this. I will certainly enjoy ample time to take in the world around me on my bike rides with Peter.
