Milestones...


NO TRAINING WHEELS! Yippee!
Cole started riding his bike this week without the training wheels. I was surprised by how quickly he caught on. It actually only took a couple of times with me running beside him. And next thing I knew he was off riding down sidewalk to the end of the block all by himself. We're still working on taking off without help but he's learning how to use the brakes to slow himself down. This is great! Now when I go running he can ride his bike and I can push Landry in the jogger. That makes the jogger 45 lbs. lighter....!! Thank You!!!


Preschool is now over. The end of the year picnic went well - it was beautiful weather. Here are a few pictures of Cole with his teachers and his "buddies" - I call them "the gang". Or I should say TROUBLE!

MISS. MARY - MISS. CINDY - MISS. ANITA!

Although Preschool is over we still have to get up and get going in the morning. And needless to say Cole is not a morning person... Last week as I was coaxing him out of bed I said "You have to be the pokiest kid in the world!" He responded - "No, my Grandma Sue is the pokiest kid in the world". Boy - does he know his Grandma! I said "well, she's not a kid but she's definitely pokey..." Now I know where he gets it! That same night he asked if he could "have some extra sleep time in the morning". Oh no, not already I thought to myself - he's only 4!

Landry was home sick a few days this week. 1/2 day on Wednesday and all day on Thursday. I finally broke down and took her into the walk-in clinic on Saturday. We got a Rx - so hopefully she'll be back to busy self soon. She's become quite the momma's girl this past week with this sickness. But she's working through it.

As far as her milestone this week... she learned how to go down the stairs all by herself. She slides down on her belly. This is a huge relief to me! As when she was just 5 months old she crawled over to the steps unbenoticed to me and fell down them. So the stairs have been a fear of mine ever since.
