Last week JP finally got a new bike after his was stolen. Joe found a great deal on Craigslist. The dad is into bikes and fixed it all up to sell. It was his son's but he had outgrown it. Joe said it was so cute because as they were leaving the boy who had been pretty quiet the whole time shouted out to JP and said "hey, that's a great bike" Joe said he looked sad to let it go.
JP is having to deal with letting things go more and more these days. Tonight it was his red wagon. The babies took their first spin in it tonight. It was nice to have something "small" to pull them all around in. It was a beautiful night and our alley was fun of kids. It's funny how much they all still love to ride in JP's yellow motorized Hummer. I don't want to be the one to break this to JP, but he will probably have to let this go soon too- he can barely fit in it!
On Monday, the babies and I started a gym class once a week for 45 minutes at a little place near us called BabyPower. I think they are going to love it. I don't think they knew what to make of it at first, but the teacher, Miss Rachel, did fun things like blow bubbles, dance and let them play in the gym. They all slept like champs when they got home! I'm a little nervous with the start of RSV season coming in another 1.5 months. They say we have to worry about it with preemies until after they are 2. I will talk to the doctor at their 18 month check up and see what he says about being able to keep them in the class through winter.
Other than that, things are good. JP is starting to bring home homework now so we'll have to fit that into our routine. He has his first soccer game on Saturday. The babies seem to be growing so quick learning new things everyday. Ryan is finally starting to get some hair & the girls hair is going crazy! They pull out any barrettes or bands I try to put in & it drives me nuts! So much for the neat and tidy look.
Both Ryan and Madison are getting to be pretty good little talkers. They are getting very good at saying words like more, thank you, bye bye as well as some animal and object names- dog, duck, ball. Caitlin talks the least right now, but she understands the most. I can tell her to go in the toy room, get a shoe and bring it back to me and she will. I told the doctor about this and he said this is her way of communicating. He actually said he was surprised how much the other 2 were talking. He said with multiples many times they have each other and have their own little sounds & language and don't always start using ours for awhile!
The trio in the wagon:
We look like a parade when we go around the block!
Caitlin & Ryan had to get in on the Hummer action!
