Speedy's Famiversary!!!!

I can't believe that 6, yes 6, years ago today I held this little boy for the first time! Honestly, has it really been that long. I remember that day like it was yesterday. Happy Famiversary to my little Speedy...cake & Fanta anyone?

Giggles rides a bike!

So, Giggles said to me Friday that he wanted to ride a 2 wheeler. I thought that was crazy he is only 4 but he was insistent. I took of the training wheels and lowered the seat a bit. We practiced pedalling and trying to balance. After a bit of that he used his bike without the pedals, like a balance bike, to help him keep his balance. We practiced for about an hour in the morning and then a little in the afternoon.  He was persistent but a bit frustrated.  On Saturday morning Uncle Will came to babysit and the kids were riding bikes on the back patio. Yes, he was riding a bike. That afternoon when I heard that he had been riding his bike I took him outside to see. What do you know he was riding a bike, all on his own with no help from anyone. It was completely crazy! I don't know why I am surprised, he walked at 9 1/2 months so why not ride a bike at 4. Here he is, my little bike rider.

A twist out!

Yep, I tried a twist out. She had her hair in a 5 part twist for a week. That was also a feat since it is the longest one of her "do's" has lasted. The twist out looked pretty good but was a little dry on the ends. I did a pretty good job making sure to get the hair pretty straight so the twist out would look good. Here are pictures. You be the judge.

Hair, hair, hair

It seems that all I think about lately is hair! Yes, I am obsessed with Sunshine's hair! I think about how to do it, how it looks, is the style holding, what will I do next and when will it get done. Seriously, I really spend a lot of time thinking about and researching hair, styles, products, and tutoials. It seems to have overtaken me but I know someday it will just be very easy! Right? One can hope.
