Whilst I was away over the weekend, my darling husband attempted a bike ride with Sparkle. A short ride, it went well until the home gravel drive, in which DH discovered that his feet do not touch the ground from the seat, and that trying to stop and dismount at the same time a daughter keeps pedaling results in a crash. He was wrenched up a bit, and re-strained himself today, and will be checking in with the doctor tomorrow.
So, while Sparkle had a bike ride on Thursday night, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday were not riding days, although DH did take her for walks and scooter rides around the block.
( 28 the long list of grievances )She came in, took a bath, and is now out like a light. I am glad that tonight ended on a happy note for her. I think also that my DH handling the going to bed routine helped, too, as I was a bit raw. (He is my rock.)
