New bike

My father and Jonathan's mother both gave us some money to get a gift for Ari's birthday.  We combined it and bought him a new bicycle.  He'd grown out of his tricycle and really wanted one like Xander's. And he was SOOO excited!!

We then put Connor on Ari's old trike, and he was so happy he clapped!  I walked to the park and back with Ari, then around the block, pushing Connor in the stroller next to him, and man, I need to get a running stroller!  That kid can jet!

If you ask where Xander was... my dad had said to get the other kids something as well, so while Connor got a big bouncy ball, we picked "Connect 4" for the eldest.  And he was so excited by his gift, he stayed home with Jonathan to play while I ran myself ragged with our new bike rider.

Today I taught Torah study and then after services, joined the family at FairyTale Town.  Ari fell asleep on the way home, so Xander and I had some Connect 4 time.  After everyone woke up we went back to the bike path....  Xander rode his scooter, Connor pretended to steer the trike, and Captain America Ari had a huge grin on his face all afternoon.  Now they are off to get pizza for our break-the-Pesach meal and I'm sitting here blogging... a good day. :)
