Gosh....I don't remember the exact age. It's not like it was last year or something. I'd guess probably 5 or 6.

My mom was so cool about it. Peter Pan had just come out at the movies (animated Disney version) and she knew I was HUGE into Peter Pan at the time. So....after a few tries in the front yard, my mom got this motivation idea. She went to a tree in our yard that had small leaves and told me that it was a Pixie tree and the leaves were Pixie leaves. If I put the leaves in my pocket and "believed", then I wouldn't fall. It worked....I thought it was magic to keep me from falling and it did!!

BTW.....I worked that story into my mom's eulogy when she died 2 years ago too.
