Happy Kid's Day

A conversation between David and Billy:

David: Daddy, can me have a happy kid's day?

Billy: A happy kid's day?

David: Yeah, like mommy has a happy mother's day and you have a happy father's day...a happy kid's day.


Out of the mouth of babes.

Big boy

This summer, David has had some pretty big milestones. I enrolled him in swim lessons and was amazed at how much he'd accomplished in a week. Here he is swimming toward his teacher. I was one proud mama!

Now he thinks he can just swim anytime he wants without waiting for me. Gives me a bit of a heart attack, but luckily he does pretty good for that moment it takes me to get to him. The other day, David's dad made a deal with him. If he could ride his bike without the training wheels, he would buy him a new bike. Well, he took him out, took off the training wheels, and helped David push off. It came naturally to David and he took off peadling without a hitch. Once he noticed that his dad wasn't holding him up, though, he immediately crashed! Again another proud mama moment:

I can't believe how big he's getting! Today, he is 4 1/2 years old. How crazy is that? He starts Pre-K in August and I don't know what I'm going to do without my little pal around ALL THE TIME! Ok, I do, but still...
