Double the risk of monapleocyclotrechophobia

My 9 year old daughter Bompette is a joy, as well as being adorable for all kinds of reasons she is a serious club runner and also pretty handy on the bike or in the pool.
As of 4:45 yesterday morning she has a baby sister!

Who is her father's delight - that's what Abigail means. She looks like she's going to go much the same way as her older sister - which is what's bringing on the doubly serious bout of monapleocyclotrechophobia: the fear that your daughter is going to grow up to be a triathlete.

    Looks like a skier to me...but first appearances (it it her first appearance after all) can be deceptive.

    But I think you should call her Mona for short - that Monapleocyclotrechophobia name is going to seriously upset her chances in school.

    Well done, mother and father, by the way!
    Looking for a cycling buddy?

    You know I think you may be right, she's holding those poles properly for the tuck - hands forward and together, not tucked into the armpits like most folk do round here. Her big bro & sis are certainly quite handy on planks, and there was plenty snow around the day she was born too.

    No, she had a bath tonight so she's really clean.

    Right now she says surfing the BR forums is way better than sleeping though...

    Congratulations to you and the missus.

    Time flys too soon. Before you know it they will be grown up and moving out. It won't be so much like loosing a daughter than it will be like gaining a bathroom. :lol:
    To err is human, but to make a real balls up takes a super computer.

    Well Done all concerned. Aren't they small at that age? They grow so quickly that this, initial, stage is gone in a flash. You will need a larger trailer now.

    Thought I needed one of her big sis too who won her XC race on Sunday: there's no bore like a proud Dad bore but I don't care

    Bompette number 470 in the lead, where she stayed the whole way. Respect, too, to 150 who won the series by a total of 3 seconds from her.
