Two Wheels are Better Than Four

The weekend before kindergarten began, Bradley and Benjamin spent a few days with Grandma and Poppy. Poppy decided to bring their bicycles to Valpo to ride during their stay. While Bradley was riding, one of his training wheels fell off. Poppy decided to remove the other wheel to see if Bradley would like to try riding without them. With Poppy jogging along side for a couple of times, Bradley quickly got the hang of it. Within 3 days, Bradley was going on bicycle rides with Poppy and then Grandma. One day, Bradley rode 2.5 miles in total with only 4 falls. His longest ride between falls was 1.4 miles.

Ask and Ye Shall Receive

Just before dinner Bradley asked, "What is a wedgie?" When a verbal description was insufficient, it was time for a demonstration. Bradley enjoyed it very much, so he got another one. How long will it be until Bradley gives Ben a wedgie?

Summer Vacation

We took a quick trip to Michigan for the weekend. The boys had a lot of fun. They really liked the children's section of the Meijer Gardens. They were worn out before noon. After resting during the car ride to the beach, Bradley refueled with three(!) tacos at Taco Bell. They had a great time playing in the waves at Holland beach and digging in the sand. The next day we went to the Dutch Village and then on to South Haven beach.

More Summer Fun

Ben made his first trip to the drive-in over the weekend. Bradley had been there several times before Ben was born. We saw Despicable Me and the boys stayed awake through the whole movie. That means they were up after 10!

Going Down

Bradley has had a very successful month on the potty. He earned 11stickers, which is a record. Ben has actually regressed. He had zero stickers during the month and is now back to pull-ups full time.
