Fearless!

On one of the school days off this month, the boys (and friends from the neighborhood) were having a "typical" boy day. Just like in the "old days." They were trying to build a ramp for their bikes/scooters with supplies they were finding around our house. It started with empty shoe boxes and the remains of our old baseboards. After several failed attempts, Sheri donated some stable wood and then they were in business.

The only problem was WHO was going to ride the scooter down the ramp...no worries, Jason was ready to go. (Mind you, no one else was brave enough to try and were quite relieved to send Jason on it.)

Then, ever convident in Jason's ability to survive anything, like a "good" (whatever?!?!) mom, I grabbed the video camera. Man, did I feel bad when Jason flew like Superman at the end of the ramp. Yikes! Gratefully, there was no blood, just the shock (for me that I didn't stop Jason and for Jason...because...he flew!). However, reality had sunk in and Jason had NO desire to ride that ramp again...until Brett brought over his knee pads, elbow pads, and hand pads. Next thing I knew, Jason was ready to roll at the top of the ramp again. Fearless!

Also, Jason is the only Hancock so far to conquer the two-wheeler at age 5. He has the most interesting way of starting his bike. He pushes off with both feet and moves them both up to the pedals. He has an amazing sense of balance.
