Reese's new Bike!

I hardly know where to start, I haven't made a post in so long. It's getting harder and harder to find time on the lap top, and making blog posts from my phone is not ideal. I guess the biggest news recently, is that the ripe old age of two, Reese has mastered pedaling his bike! So we did have to go buy him one (I was secretly hoping we could wait until Clayton needed to go up a size in bikes, but that is clearly not ever going to be the case)! It is really nice having both of them on bikes to go for bike rides around the block, or even just in circles around the backyard!

Clayton's new bike

Clayton's 1st bike and also an early birthday present (only about another month until my baby is 3)! We took him to Walmart on Monday (it was Labor Day so Daddy was home to help) and picked out a bike and matching helmet. He already can get on and off with a little verbal coaching but no physical assistance! It's a little harder for him to push the pedals since there is as chain, and even though the bike will go with gravity, because of the chain, it doesn't make the pedals turn. So he will have a new learning curve here but I think he might be able to get the hang of it before the weather turns cold!

And here's a video of Clayton riding home from Grandma and Grandpa's house last night. It looks like he' really getting the hang of it! What he is saying at the beginning is "don't crash the truck." So cute!
