Outdoor Toys

Yesterday I brought up the little coupe car to see if Ellie could “pedal” it.  She can push it backward, but hasn’t quite figured out moving it forward.  While that it is fun to watch, it is much more entertaining to see her climb in the car.  She manages to step completely on top of the seat before sitting down.  In some ways, this is highly effective considering if the car starts rolling, she’ll just roll with it!  (I had a video to post of this, but it is not uploading, so you’ll just have to picture it…or come visit.)  Overall, she really likes it, and it kept her busy for quite some time.

Madison amazing me with how fast she is picking up new skills.  One day she was trying to ride her tricycle and could hardly pedal without needing pushes; the next time, she is cruising all the way to the end of the sidewalk – uphill, no less!  It is so cool, and she is so proud!  It, too has kept her busy.

It also means that we are outside ALL THE TIME.  Am I complaining?  Not really.  There are just so many things that you can do outside, and my swing pushing endurance is lacking.  But I would rather be outside with two happy kids, than inside with two whiny ones.  So, if you ever drive by our house and it is a nice day, you’ll know where to find us… unless we went to the park for a change of scenery!
