Caleb and Elton have been wanting skateboards for a while, so the deal this summer was that when they learned how to ride their bikes well then we would talk about skateboards. I am happy to see them so excited about their bikes and new skateboards. Here's to lots of fun ahead!
So last Tuesday when we took Oliver to his first dentist appointment, Elton was really disappointed to learn his appointment wasn't until this week. He really wanted to show them his loose tooth. Then that night at McDonalds with dad his tooth came out when he was eating his hamburger! His second tooth has been getting wigglier all week. Today he went in for his appointment and showed them how his one had come out and the other was REALLY loose. Guess what? Tonight he was complaining at dinner about how it hurt so I told him I could help it feel better and I just wiggled it right out!
Oliver had his first dentist appointment last Tuesday and was quite excited to get his teeth counted and shined. He did really well for his first time in the dentist chair and his teeth are looking great. Thanks Barb for being an awesome hygenist! She is so wonderful with my boys!
The highlights of my week prior to Saturday were a CT scan and colonoscopy. Then on Friday I had to stop at the DMV to renew my license. I was very fortunate that the lady at the DMV was nice and gave me lots of hints on the signs because I didn't do so well on my own. Fortunately she renewed my license for 8 years. However, as backup, Dan got me the lovely Pink Schwinn Cruiser bike you see above. Caleb and Elton took me shopping for the basket and helmet as my present from them and Oliver.
What was totally awesome, was that Saturday morning while I was gone, Caleb and Elton finally mastered riding their bikes without training wheels. At the beginning of summer I had told them that I really wanted them to learn to ride their bikes without training wheels. I had been telling them I wanted a pink bike so we could go riding together. Caleb is totally going on his own while Elton needs help getting rolling and then is off and pedalling just fine. I tole them that the best birthday gift was them learning and being able to ride their bikes with me. Now that they have figured it out they are even excited about riding there bikes. Before they would just get discouraged. After dinner tonight we went for a little bike ride and I can't believe how much they have improved just in the last day. Then, because we didn't want daddy to be left out, he got his birthday gift a little early and also got a cruiser bike. Now we just need to get Oliver pedalling on his tricycle and we will be set.
