Growing

Oh, I'm not so good at posting often.  Here are some of the milestones around here. 

5yo rode his bike without training wheels the FIRST try!  It has been 2 months since then.  We have been on many bike rides and he just takes off (with a crash here and there.)  We were all clapping for him, including his 1 year old sister- it was actually her birthday that day.

3yo loves to be helpful, as usual.  He likes to be a part of chores, especially when Daddy is working on something.  (Here, he is not being so helpful.)

7yo has lost his first two teeth.  I didn't realize what a life-changing event this is for a young person.  He talked about it constantly and wanted to show everyone.  He realized he went through a change and would never be the same again.  I think he looks cute. 

We're getting ready for Christmas around here.  I like to make a few homemade gifts when I can think of something fun.  That's what we'll be doing!   Its probably more fun to make the gifts than to be the one to receive them. So, I'll be doing a little shopping, as well.
