This is why Sean is the greatest Dad in the world. Or why I'm just not as great.


We got an invitation to the little girl next door's birthday party. It was a horseback riding party.
Cam wasn't sure he wanted to go. Not sure he wanted to ride or a horse...or be near a horse.
I was sure that Cuyler would be overwhelmed and keep his distance. And I was sure that there was no way he'd put a helmet on his head, much less ride a horse...


He has this knack for proving me wrong. Or I have a knack for underestimating him. And I feel guilty about that. Sometimes I worry that if something happens to Sean that Cuyler would miss out on stuff because of me. We have always wanted Cuy to do what all the other kids do and never limit his opportunities. That's why I called and asked if Cuyler could attend the party (the invite was to Cam). But Sean has this way about him that just fills Cuy with so much desire to do. Just do things...anything. And I'm so pleasantly surprised and excited, while at the same time - ashamed that I would have most likely held him back somehow had I been there.

But at least I called. Called and asked if he could go. And we took him and he had a blast. And experienced something new.

He went horseback riding!

Not to mention the fun stuff he did besides horseback riding...like a pizza lunch (his was homemade gfcf, of course) with a bunch of kids. And what fun he had with them!
