The other evening, he and I were out in the street, practicing his starts, when some of the neighbor kids came over to ride, too. Emmett got upset, because he can’t seem to not <\/em>pay attention to these other riders when they’re nearby. So he finally stopped one of them and said, “You need to stay away from me; I’m trying to ride my bike!”<\/p>\n Later, when I was lying with Emmett at bedtime, I said, “Emmett, you have to speak nicely to your friends. Instead of saying what you did, just say something like, ‘Please give me a little space to ride right now. I’m just learning.’ OK?”<\/p>\n “Well,” he said, “those two things were racing in my head, but that one was too slow!”<\/p>\n At least there was a race.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Emmett’s just learning to ride his bike.
