Looks like all the fresh air tuckered someone right out.

I'm not sure what makes me prouder - that Paige said her first word, or that I figured out how to embed a video onto my blog. ;)

I wish I had some photos to post. But unless I want to take pictures of Wyatt throwing a massive tantrum, or proof that he beats on his sister, I haven't got much to work with these days.
Today, Wyatt asked to ride his bike. We haven't been successful over the last 2 summers with this. We tried with a trike first. Then a bike with training wheels. He'd get on, make a half hearted attempt to push on the pedals then say, "I need a break."
Me: "You haven't even tried yet, you don't need a break. Just do one full pedal all the way around, then you can get off the bike."
Wyatt: "IDON'TWANNAPEDALIDON'TLIKEBIKINGMYPENISHURRRRRRRRTS!"
Yeah.
So then I thought, because I bought the bike 2nd hand and it's pretty beat up, maybe it IS hard to pedal. We took a quick trip to Walmart to get him a try a new bike there. The first bike had Lightening McQueen, I figured it had to be a hit. Wrong. Tears. Screaming. I talked him off the edge, and we found a smaller bike. Hot Wheels, again, I figured this might be enticing. Wrong again. More tears. Louder screaming. In fact, it turned into a full out flailing tantrum and I became that mom who carried her 40 pound kid out of store in a football hold. AWESOME.
Putting him to bed tonight, he apologized and said he wanted to try again. I'm not sure if he's capable of pedaling, or if his co-ordination isn't there. Hopefully we get it sorted out soon, he seems eager enough to try it, but it's no fun for anyone if he's that miserable.

I'm such a lazy blogger, and I have no excuse. I even have the Blogger app on my phone. So here's another 2 pics!

I know everybody's seen the pigtails pics (or seen them in person...mom), but they deserve a spot on the blog too. Look how freaking cute she is! Josh thought I was an idiot when I first said I was going to put pigtails in, and then he saw them. I win.
I made cupcakes the other day, and Wyatt wanted to help SO badly, but since they weren't for us to eat, I had to say no. Then he found his own way to "make" them. He loves being in the kitchen and wants to help with everything. He has a play kitchen that he could spend hours at - making cakes, sandwiches, soup, etc. I think it helps that Josh does a lot of food prep in our house, shows Wyatt that not just women like to cook and bake!
