Tyler is walking!

He finally trusts himself that he can walk. He has been taking more and more steps everyday and as of Sunday I would say he is walking. He still crawls sometimes but he thinks he is so cool that he can walk. He just walks aroung with a BIG smile on his face. He has to pull himself up on something because he can't stand on his own but I see him pulling up to stand and then walking a while to something he can use to help he turn around and then back to where he started. He will go in circles for minutes at a time. He thinks he is great!


We had our blind friend over for dinner on Sunday and as usual Allie and Tyler are fascinated with his guide pole. So we decided to play limbo. Allie loved it and Tyler was walking everywhere to get in on any action he could. I was impressed with how Allie picked it up. The first few times she start out tipping her head back and then lean forward as soon as she saw the pole. We have tried playing again and she can only bend her neck, we are trying to get her to bend her back as well to see if she can go a little lower. It is fun to teach y our kids the games you have played a million times, enough to where you are almost bored with them and to have them get so excited about it. I have forgotten about so many games too. I need go to an elementary school recess or something.

its so true. I was thinking about hopscotch a few days ago and how fun that is and that I need to teach Aubrie.

I am glad that Little Ceasars makes life easier :)

Janae...next semester I am taking this class...it has a technical name for it, but it is basically all the games that are played in elementary school. Complete with tag, parachute, jump rope, double dutch, hand games, tether ball, 4-square...you get the idea! Mostly it will be so fun and I suggest you more to Provo so you can take it with me! ;)
