On Thursday morning Phoenix and I headed to Jack Fischer Park after dropping Axel off at school. I wanted her to be able to play as much as possible before heading to the doctors. It was perfect timing to get the cast removed because on Memorial Day she started walking and standing on it.
Here she is smiling away.
Look at this little climber!
What a trooper!
Here she is cool and collected on the drive to the doctor. She wasn't so happy at the doctor. I wasn't able to get any photos because I took her alone, but the event was pretty traumatizing. They had to put sound blocking ear muffs on her to keep the sound of the saw from being "too loud and scary". Luckily, all went well and she has a new short cast for the next two weeks. She has 50% healing right now and the cast comes off on June 11th when she has 75% healing. The doctor says she will be at risk for re injury for 2 weeks after the cast comes off and that we have to be super diligent about not letting her jump or twist. We will see how that goes. By the grace of God nothing bad will happen!
On Friday night we had my best bud from high school over for dinner. Tiffany and family were in town for a wedding. They just bought a house in Seattle where they relocated a few months ago. Axel and Avery had a blast playing together. We hope to visit them some time this year and check out there new amazing 6 bedroom home!
Here is our little one walking now.
And here she is riding her bike....
And kicking the ball....
And being silly with daddy.
The big news of the weekend is that Axel can ride his bike without training wheels. We took him to Marshall Lane and within 2 pedal strokes I let go and he was riding. It was as easy as potty training for him. The great thing with Axel is when he is ready and decides to do something he does it very quickly. Keith and I are so proud of him. He even tried to ride home without the training wheels on. He is still figuring out how to start on his own and brake without dragging his feet. We hope within a week or so he is proficient at all components of riding his bike so that we can start doing family bike rides!
After bike riding we headed over to the Zimmermans pool. Since they are out of town Axel and Rishaan had a blast swimming. Axel has improved since last summer without any lessons so we are really excited to see how much he improves when swim lessons start in a couple of weeks after school ends. Axel has mentioned wanting to join the swim team. We told him if he can learn free style that he is more than welcome to try swim team next year. We are excited to see what the next year unfolds. It is hard to believe summer is almost here!
