Recently Michael has mastered his tricycle! Grandma Gayle and Grandpa Mike gave it to him for his 2nd birthday, but it took a year and Miranda wanting to ride it before he got interested enough to figure it all out himself. I caught him on video today riding in circles on the putting green ~ his favorite is to ride up the small hill at the far end of the green and then come back down it quickly. :O)))
Apparently they are good for teaching little sisters how to be a whirling dervish! We had a fun ~ and dizzy ~ afternoon of "round and round" today.
Lots of fun stuff going on with the kids these days! Michael loves putting on capes and pretending to be a super hero, as you can see in this first picture. He was being a super hero in a race car this day, and Miranda was his super sidekick.
Miranda finally has enough hair for some sort of pony tail! Those of you who know me well know I am **DYING** to put pig tails, braids and pony tails in that girl's hair!
Miranda wants to be everywhere Michael is, and she wants to be right next to him ~ something he's learning how to handle better because he's not too fond of his sister when she's hugged up right next to him! He'll tell me he loves to be a big brother, but I suspect he doesn't love it so much when she's all up in his business. :O)
Miranda also loves typing, probably because she also wants to do what she sees Mommy doing so much. It's cute, but we're always a little nervous about what she could accidentally do to the computer!
The kid's favorite toys these days always seem to be the ones that were free. Wood blocks from outside, rocks to throw in the fountain, boxes that came in the mail. Here's Miranda with her current favorite!
Here are the last of my cell phone snaps from the past year or so!
