Skateboarding

If you know Dallin, you know that the kid is obsessed with Tony Hawk. If I pick out his clothes for the day, the first thing out of his mouth is "Is that a Tony Hawk shirt?" He also tells me he wants to be a skater like Tony Hawk when he grows up. I have no idea where the infatuation came from. He asked Santa for his first skateboard 2 years ago. Since summer has started, he gets dressed, eats and asks to go outside to ride his skateboard or do tricks on his bike. I took pictures of him riding his skateboard and compared them to the first time he got on one. 1st thing I noticed was that he is so much bigger! You don't realize how big your baby has gotten till you look at older pictures. 2nd thing, he knows how to put his helmet on right now! 3rd thing, he goes downhill with full confidence and doesn't (well, hardly ever) falls anymore. How did he grow up so fast, and how in the world did he become obsessed with Tony Hawk?

That is very impressive for him and very brave for you as Mom to let him do it.

In my mind he's still a little boy! He's so grown up - it's happens too soon. By the way, I never heard of Tony Hawk until Dallin 'introduced' me to him. The kid is into name brands already - you may be in trouble!!! See you soon. Love ~ Mom

Holy cow, he IS getting big! I still remember him closer to the first pictures than in the second. So Tony Hawk huh? That's funny - better than some of the other alternative "role" models out there.

They do grow up way too fast. I guess Dallin is going to be a skater dude. Although, I can't imagine him in baggy pants and chains. He's a cute skater.
