big milestones

What a great weekend!! We had so much to do, and it all went off with out a problem. Friday we had Gary's parents over with their little cutie pup Cujo! This little 3 lb maltese/shitzu is the most adorable little guy. He definitely thinks that he is top dog, and certainly fits his name (or at least he thinks). We also had Holly and the kids over which was of course fun for the kids to play.


Saturday we went to the Fun Fair at the school behind us, which will be where Zach goes to Kindergarten next year. We went with Holly and the kids, as well as one of her friends who will have a kid in Zach's class next year as well. The kids had tons of fun playing games, and painting a pet rock. After we got back from there I had to take Zach to a birthday party for one of his preschool classmates. It was a construction themed party with dirt, sand, and rock piles for them to dig in. He of course had a blast getting dirty. After this party we came home and headed to a party at one of Gary's friend's house. The kids love to go here (especially Zach) because they have twin 5 year old boys which means lots of rough house play for him!


Sunday we hung around the house all morning. The time change meant I totally missed my workout class. I thought my clock changed automatically, but apparently that is the clock on Gary's side of the bed! We ran some errands, and then came back to play outside. We decided to take the training wheels off Zach's bike and let them practice riding on two wheels. Both of them took to it MUCH better then we expected. By the end of the afternoon they were both able to ride for a couple of seconds totally unassisted. We used Zach's bike because it is the smallest, and closer to the ground. Here is some video I took of each one....












After a couple hours of bike riding back and forth, all the kids went across the street to play on the swingset.

All in all it was such a fun weekend. I am so amazed at how well they both took to riding a bike. Hopefully Zach will pick it up quick because he really wants a bigger bike for his birthday, and I promised him he could get one if he could ride on the two wheels.

  1. That seems like a fun weekend. First starting with the Fun Fair. Which is good that your children can visit and get to know the school where they will be studying. Then, you went to your friend Gary´s house, which might be kind of boring to a 4-year-old but not in this case since they have other kids of their age to play with. To bad you missed your workout class. You need some king of Cognitive therapy to remember about it haha
    Then the cycle riding. It always makes me happy when a little boy starts riding for the first time unassisted. In a couple of weeks they will be riding their bikes all over the place and you won´t even notice it. Trust me, that is what happened to me. Congrats on your family and I hope I will keep reading this lovely posts you write.
