Of Bikes and Bugs

Allie got to open one present on her actual birthday because she had to wait for her party on Saturday to open the rest of them. She had been asking for a bike for a few months so was elated when she saw her new pink princess bike and helmet. She was pretty excited (at first) but she's still in the learning phase, and gets frustrated when she has trouble riding it. Dan actually ended up exchanging the original bike for a slighter smaller one and that helped her keep those pedals moving!

Drew also got a really small bike that Dan had to assemble, and of course Allie preferred to ride his bike instead of hers...


Drew LOVES to be outside and exploring anything and everything he can see. He is really into checking out bugs right now. He'll get down on his hands and knees and try to grab the bug and check it out (and usually smush it with his big paws). It's so funny to see the difference between girls and boys. Allie gets grossed out and a little nervous around bugs (even little ants), and tries to squish them with a shoe or will run from them. Drew high tails it directly for the bug and tries to get as close as he can to it, and pick it up.
