the boy took two unaided steps to me tonight.

It's the little things that turn you into a slobbering fool.

1. Great news!

The little things are large miracles in their own right. It wasn't long ago you and MrsUly were starting on the long path to parenthood. :D

2. damned straight.

I think I've documented most of that journey on DU, too. He'll be eleven months on the 23rd, and I'm a monkey's uncle if I know where the time went. Scares and thrills all at once.

Things are well on the left coast, yes?

3. You two endured lots of heartache

But you came out ahead on further review. :-)

Things are well! I am looking at supplementing my income with private tutoring - teaching history, government, and other social studies disclipines to high school students. I used to teach a lifetime ago, and this could be a return to my roots. In a way. :-)

4. glad to hear it!

I thought you had been a teacher in a past life - funny for DU to be so young and so many of us have had so many past lives. :D I wish you well in tutoring. God knows we need you.

After all the heartache, we've been lucky beyond imagining. Christopher's birthparents are such great people, and he's such a happy and bright guy. I get a kiss or two every day when I come home from work these days, and I can't get over the wonder of that. I wouldn't change a thing.

5. :)

What a wonderful feeling.

Two weeks ago Saturday, the oldest triplet boy figured out how to master a two-wheel bike. It was a great moment, and he is still only 5 3/4.

I was the only family member to witness this other than his mother, who was spotting him. We high fived after that.

6. nice!

I remember learning to ride on two wheels - that stuff's no joke. Kudos to EldestTriplet! :hi:

7. I am so damn old that I don't remember doing that...

Kudos to Chris...which is also the name of the eldest triplet. Though he is Christian.

:hi:

Great moments in our lives.

8. oh please.

You predate the bicycle? I think not. :D
