It Was A Good Day

Finally, it was nice enough to do the things outside that Jax has been dying to do all week.  First up was to take his new bike for a test drive to the park a couple blocks away.  He was determined that that's where we needed to go for his first bike ride.  It was a little iffy for awhile about if we could actually get to the park, we tried to talk him into maybe just hanging out in the cul de sac til he got the hang of things, but Jaxon was not having any of that.  Once he got the hang of pedalling vs. braking things got better.  It was a good thing we weren't in a hurry to get the park though, it took us 30+ minutes to go three blocks.  It was totally worth it to see how proud he was of himself for making it all the way to the park like he wanted.

Riding through his first puddle ~ he was pretty excited about that

 Once he got the hang of it, he spent a lot of time watching his feet and concentrating on what they were doing, instead of watching the road.  This didn't cause a problem til the ride home when he crashed because he forgot how to brake.

 We played pirates while we were at the park.  This is Captain Blue Eyes going across the swamp to rescue the Pirate Princess. 

 Finally got to try out his new water table with water in it!  All week, he's been playing with this table in our living room, asking me when we can take it outside and play.  The people that came with it have been swimming in an empty pool and Jax is not ok with that.  He's already asked if he can play with it again tomorrow :)
