Andrew saved up his money from his birthday in May to get a new big boy bike. I took him last month to look at bikes and he picked out this "motorcycle." Slow and steady, in his own time, he decided he wanted to pedal his tricycle. That was the condition he had to meet to go get his bike. He hadn't changed his mind...no Spider man or McQueen this time. He picked out the motorcycle again. He rode it all the way from the back of the store and out to the truck. Unfortunately it was raining when we got home so he rode it in circles in the garage. Today after church he could hardly wait to get back on! He is very focused on his feet. Drew has to keep reminding him to watch where he is going. It is so much fun to see the pride in his face at his great accomplishment!
Lila turned 18 months in May. Wow...what happened to my baby? She is nonstop. People often comment how she never stops. I always want to say, do you think you are telling me something I don't know? Lila is a talker. Her first sentence was "I don(t) like it." Soon followed by "What's wrong, Andrew?" Lila is very compassionate...it melts my heart when she takes a toy over to a crying friend. She is also feisty....when the friend stops crying she may just go right back over there and take it back. She thinks she is 3. She tries most everything she sees Andrew doing - jumping out of the playhouse (2nd floor), coloring, riding a scooter. She is a sweet little mommy to her babies but also loves to take a turn with Andrew's cars and trucks. She likes to "cook" in her kitchen. Lila LOVES to be outside and she LOVES music. She has the cutest little clap and dance. She likes to count (skips numbers here and there) and sings her ABCs (choo choo soul style). She is getting a bit more cuddly which I love.
