We Love Firsts!

We had some firsts on Saturday at a company party for X' work:

First choo-choo train ride.


First pony ride. I was really proud, thinking back to my old equestrian days (even though these ponies are a far cry from it!)
He actually really liked it, despite his lacking smile. Most of the time he sat totally relaxed in the saddle, so much so that I had to support his back! It was like he was melting!


And first merry-go-round ride!
Despite the fact that he isn't smiling in any of these photos, we claim them all to be a success. The fact that he didn't cry or get scared of any of these first experiences is wonderful in our book (especially since they had to stop the carousel to let a crying and scared kid off!).

It's hard to smile when your concentrating, he had to do it right.

We love firsts too! And by the way, I ran the betrothal by Lorenzo, and he's good to go. So, I think we're all set. What do you think, maybe when they're 22 and 23?
