Chandler started his BMX riding again this week. He practiced this past Tuesday for the first time on an outdoor track. He is pretty excited about starting up the sport again. I think the biking excitement is hereditary--Scott is just like a kid about it all. Chandler's first race was this past Thursday night. He did a great job sticking with it, even though he took a little tumble during the first race. He didn't qualify for the main races but he still wants to move forward with the sport. We took a bathroom break between his two races. When we were walking back to his bike I told him he'd have one less thing to think about at the start of the next race. He responded he always feels like he needs to use the bathroom while waiting at the gate. He also said he always gets butterflies. I teased him a little that he'll get butterflies when he likes a girl. He, of course, said "Ewwww." and I told him not to worry about it for about 20 years. He said he'd be 28 and probably won't be dating by then! :) I just want him to stay a true kid for as long as possible.
Scott loves everything about BMXing. He was so excited to put together Chandler's bike and rooted for him like no other parent. It's fun to see Chandler enjoy something like this and I hope we can encourage him to just have fun and do his best.

Post or email the next race times and maybe we can come. I think Stratton would love to watch Chandler.
Two daredevils in your family, what are you going to do.
