Forty-nine month old Ted came home from Preschool today with scraped knees and arms. He’s either hardcore on the playground, prone to his father’s lack of coordination, or a little of both. I think he still likes preschool, though. He better, because we’ve signed up him to go three-days a week next year.
Ted recently completed his first (and second) guy’s road trip. He and I drove to and from New England last month (while the ladies flew). He did really well, thanks most likely to the DVD player, Leap Pad, and the free-flowing snacks.
Here’s a photo from that trip. On Easter morning Ted put the squeeze on GG. She got him a Transformer for his birthday this year, and a hug was totally in order. Wish he could spend more in-person time with his great-grandmoms, as their lack of of email and skype put them a little out of the loop sometimes.
The next pic was also taken at Newport Creamery, home of candy-covered pancakes and the four-year-olds who love them. He and Jack love these pancakes so much, they suited up for the occasion (and maybe for Sarah’s baptism).
Wish we got more photos from that morning, as cousin Abigail and her parents were there, too! Ted did pretty well for having to get up super-early Easter morning.
Forty-nine month old Ted has built up a formidable collection of cousins and step-cousins. While visiting Grandpa and Grandma, he and Sarah squeezed in together with Sophia, Matthew, JJ, Jake, Jack and Ben. I hope Ben always stays as happy as he is here.
Here’s Ted chillaxin with Grandpa on their back porch. Ted got to try his first soda! He seemed to enjoy the drink, the company, and the sweet sweet cable tv they were watching.
Forty-nine month old Ted goes to a lot of birthday parties these days for his classmates. We went to two last month and have at least two or three more upcoming. They tend to be a at high-energy bounce house kind of places and he loves it.
He still very much likes to ride his bike, and we try to get him on it at least once or twice a week. He’s -almost- figured out how to coast. For a while it was either peddling or braking to a full stop. No in-between. Getting him to not peddle full-speed downhill has been a challenge.
