but we bought her an electric violin. now she has a cool looking instrument used for dust gathering ^^

I was lying. Be glad that the electric violin gathered dust and you didn't have to listen to it

I have given countless gifts though that have gone unused. Guitars top the list. Also printers, games, bikes, books, clothes....That's life.

In her last practice session (2 weeks ago) my wife reached the stage of riding fairly solidly on the unicycle that I bought her for Christmas in 2007 - as long as she doesn't let go of my hand:

(sorry, I don't have a link to share the photo with people not logged into Facebook, and as it's not my photo I'm not going to copy and paste it here).

She loved the feeling and is now really determined to learn to ride solo.

We're taking the kids to the park with their bikes later on. For her Mother's Day treat we're taking unicycles as well, so that she can get some more practice in.
