Tour de France

In a major cycling development, the Lil' Feller pedaled his first twenty or so meters without the training wheels this afternoon. What a quintessential moment of fatherhood: Standing still, calling out, "I've gotcha, I've gotcha," watching him pedal off in the distance. It's that slight turn of his head -- when he realized that I couldn't possibly be holding on while standing fifteen feet behind him -- that I'll always remember. That and the look of gleeful wonder when he realized that he'd done it all by himself.
