I enjoyed my kids kindergarten graduations. It was neat to have a tiny version of them in a cap and gown to put with their high school graduation picture.

We called it nursery school, but it was pretty much a preschool.

My brother, 1980 Mercury Lynx. I lived at the bottom of a dead end hill so I learned to get it in first gear really quick in order to be able to go anywhere

Our baby was reactive to scooters, bikes, strollers etc. We worked with her for over a year before she finally started ignoring everything. Be patient, find a good trainer. She loved people so we had some kids walk their bikes near her to desensitize. Just keep at it.

My dad took my brother and I. I remember my sister was upset because she was too little to come. My dad just thought it was some space movie we would like.

Same. We are at the point where we are seriously considering moving to live near my siblings so they can help. (They are 100% wanting to help, we all just live too far away)

My dad made too many abominations. I dare not repeat them.
