Motohs and pickies



We've had some great weather the past couple of days. So the kids were out on the deck and asked if they could clean off the dead leaves and brush. Well, yesssss. In the process, they discovered the bikes and so out they came.



Gaelle calls her bike a "motoh". They both have a blast being outside and it's been great to see Peter just pick up and ride a bike. He has a little trouble getting started and he has a bit of a problem steering. Today he ran into Gaelle and knocked her over. I gave a bit of a gasp but she calles out, "It's ok. It's ok Peterson!" And up she got.



Peter said, "Joyce would be so happy to see me ride a bike." He will be zipping around before we know it. And not knocking down innocent bystanders.



Yesterday we took the kids to Dr. Lewis to get some shots. The kids call them pickies. Needless to say this was not a highlight for Gaelle. We told the kids what we were going to the Dr for and they just love Dr. Lewis, but not enough to trust her with the pickies. Well, Peter was a brick. He told us he was going to cry but he took his 2 shots like it was nothing. The second he was finished Gaelle started her act. We had to hold her and just get it done. 2 pickies down, 3 to go. But we have a month's grace.



After the pickies we took the kids to a restaurant. The kids did great with the wait and praised the food. So I think we ended the day on a high.
