How much can one do in a week? That is the question. Well, apparently quite a lot in the Szolusha household. After seeing Axel pedal his tricycle with ease we decided it was time for him to get a big boy bike. Last Sunday we went to a couple of bike shops and came home with this 12" beauty.
Axel rode evey night this week. He initially needed a gentle push to get started, especially uphill, but now he can start pedaling and continue pedaling all the way up our street, which is a slight incline for a few hundred feet. One night this week, Axel, Rishaan and Max all rode their bikes together. It was extremely fun to see. We hope the three of them continue to play together and outside like we did growing up. All of us parents are thankful for the friendships that have been forming between the boys.
This week Axel also ate an entire sucker for the first time! He has had a few licks before, but never had the stamina to finish one.
Well, Thursday was the day this happened. It was part of his morning eating craze. For 5 days Axel consumed more food each day than he usually does in two days. He asked for seconds every day he was at school this week for lunch. At home he ate cereal, yogurt, string cheese for breakfast alone, including the sucker on Thursday. He would then eat lunch, a snack and dinner. Unfortunately, this stopped today. He skipped lunch because he wasn't feeling well, but managed to eat his first ice cream cone from Baskin Robins, after his nap, in order to beat the 100 degree weather that we were having.
On Thursday we went to a special evening story time with Max at the Los Gatos library. The boys has a great time. They were both laughing hesterically which is so much fun to see. The story teller did a great job of keeping the audience engaged with his great sound effects and funny facial expressions. Above you can see the two boys checking out the electrical socket after story time was over.
Our cucumbers and tomatoes are coming in. This is the first time we have grown veggies in a pot :)
Thursday morning I forgot to mention that our new refrigerator arrived. It was quite a challenge to get installed, but after an hour and twenty minutes and me crawling in the crawl space to find where our water source ended and me hooking up the new water line our new refrig was up and working. The big question of the day for me was how on earth are these workers suppose to install refrigerators when they are not allowed to go in crawl spaces or basements to connect water lines? Good thing is I managed to face my fears of dirty small places and I am still alive :)
Yesterday was also a busy day. In the morning we met Julia and her daughter Sadie at Deer Hollow Farm. Axel really wanted to see how big the baby goats and lamb grew. To me the lamb grew faster than the goats. Here are the two of them looking for the baby goats.
After a fun filled morning, Axel decided he didn't want to nap and after trying for a bit we decided to quickly go grocery shopping. After groceries we then headed over to Kaia's house so that Axel could have another play date with Mason. The two boys had fun enjoying home made popsicles. Axel is not a fan of juice so I was quite surprised when he consumed 80% of the cherry juice popsicle.
Axel decided he wanted to play in Mason's turtle pool, but didn't want to wear
the swim trunks I brought. I was surprised Kaia didn't mind. After about 5 minutes of splashing Axel was done.
The funny thing, not more than 10 minutes later, Mason does the exact opposite of Axel and gets in the pool fully clothed as they played with the trucks.
Apparently, Thursday and Friday were so action packed that Axel decided he wanted to stay home today. I worked in the morning while Keith rode. Axel told Annika and Marlena that he just wanted to stay home today and play. Good thing because he slept over 2.5 hours for his nap today. He did have a fun evening playing with Rishaan and is now fast asleep in dream land, rather than playing the potty game where he gets up and goes 3-5 times before deciding to actually stay in bed and fall asleep.
Keith is busy painting right now. I am so proud of him and all of his hard work. In just a couple of hours our garage will be a calm blue!
We want to wish a Happy Father's Day to all of the father's out there! Enjoy!
