Awesome. You managed the risks and overcame the obstacles (mainly boredom). Nicole will appreciate that the rest of her life. Love that frumpy "are we there yet?" photo. Classic.

Few parents and even fewer kids are capable of this challenge. The risks should not stop those that are educated and truly prepared to take appropriate action if necessary. Still need to watch out for parents who push too hard and can't recognize warning signs staring them in face.
