Olivia has been riding her bike every chance she gets outside with some neighborhood friends. We literally have to drag her indoors when the day is over. We are going to attempt a family bike ride soon once we attach the trailer to our bikes and purchase a helmet for Grant.
Also some good news - the binkie fairies came and snatched Jack's binkie. He is a little sad at nighttime before bed but otherwise prides himself that he is a big boy now. And he is. No more diapers, in a big boy bed and no more binks. We are moving forward with his boyhood and not looking back. Although he is still allowed his favorite blankie. I will never have the heart to take that away. It can even go to his college dorm with him... I won't mind!
Speaking of Jack, he is in his first gymnastics class at the YMCA. He is still so shy and a little bit nervous to go in the gymnasium without me - but we are making baby steps. He isn't crying in there anymore now that is is week 3 - but he still rather spectate than participate. That's okay by me. One class at a time for our reserved boy...
Speaking of sports - Olivia started soccer again this week. This is her third season playing little league soccer and I can already tell she is much more competitive and coach-able this season. And by coincidence this is her third season with the soccer jersey number 9. Maybe it's her lucky number.
This was spring break week from preschool so I took the kids to the zoo this past week with some friends and we had such a wonderful time there. The sun was out, the animals were so visible and we enjoyed our time together. The baby giraffe was there and Jack has not stopped talking about Lulu. She was adorable!
Justin spent the weekend doing some spring yard work and the kids helped out. We like to think of it as earning their keep. The yard is shaping up and I can't wait for some of our plants to bloom. Looking forward to many grilled hotdogs and cold beers on our patio.
