Wake Up, Spot!

For the last couple of weeks, Jack has been really enjoying dressing up. He has a cape and a dog costume, and he spends at least part of almost every day in one or the other. Last weekend, John ran some errands with Spot Jack. Jack insisted on going into the stores in his costume and on John calling him Spot. Ha! 

Today, I went into Jack's room to release him from mandatory rest time. Sometime during the hour he was in there, he pulled on his dog costume and then curled up for a little snooze clutching his kitty cat in close to his chest. Sweet dreams, Spot!

Luke's First Bike

Do you remember how excited we were when Jack got his first bike? Well, it was little brother Luke's turn yesterday. John and I debated for a long time about how to handle the bike situation. We know Jack is almost ready for a pedal bike, but we are hoping Santa will help us out a little with that. Luke is a little younger than Jack was when he got his Strider. Jack was pushing 2. Luke is just 1 1/2. But, Luke was doing everything he could do to tell us he wanted a bike. He tried so hard to ride Jack's Strider, but set to Jack's height it didn't work out so well for him. Then last week, I got one of my parenting newsletters that alerted me to a sale on Amazon. Striders were on mega sale, 40% off! That ended the debate. 

Yesterday was Luke's first time seeing his new bike. I think it's a hit. Sorry about the video quality. I am having to use my cell phone right now for all videos. I misplaced the video camera in the process of moving and cannot for the life of me remember where it is. So, I don't get to edit out the embarrassing stuff like explaining why Luke got his bike before Christmas. Ha!

Now John and I have two happy biker boys. I can only hope that Luke gets as much use and love out of his Strider as Jack has out of his.
