These hooligans love being outside. So why do they always fuss when we tell them to go out there?
We had to get a new baby helmet for this one. She climbs everything. This is the child we have to keep our eyes on every second. We've found her standing atop the toilet tank, kitchen table, couch armrest, and several other precarious places. We have some very strict rules now regarding keeping bathroom doors closed and kitchen chairs tucked in at all times. Don't be surprised if you check our blog sometime and see this one wearing a cast on her arm or leg.
Teaching the kids to ride bikes this year has been a snap. No tipping over or chasing them down the street or any of the fret. How did they do it? We took their peddles off for a few months and let them hobble around on their seats in the driveway. Once we saw that they were balancing and coasting fairly well, we put their peddles back on and off they went. Sidon is still skuuting around on his Skuut bike (one of Maryann's better Goodwill finds). Maybe next year we'll paint one of the several purple bikes around here a more manly color so Sidon can ride it.
