Riding Bikes

A couple of weekends ago, we had some spare time & Alex wanted to go ride "bock".  But first she had to grab her purse & backpack.  Only my girly girl! 

She still has not quite grasped the concept of pedaling.  But she loves to ride while I push!

 Then we all headed over to the swingset.  I am so delighted with how the kids are enjoying the swingset.  Riley never spent much time playing on it, until Alex came along.  Now it is a staple in our lives.  At least we are getting our money's worth.

 Alex loves to slide, almost as much as she loves to swing, but not without her purse!  She is just such a girl!  She is really beginning to make us laugh with the things she says.  She still does not talk all that much, but she can clearly say, "No, I'm done, & I balk- I walk.  She is getting more & more independent and is a bit fascinated with all things pink.  In fact she is pretty sure that everything pink is "MINE!" 

   Last week was Grandparent's Day at school and of course this coincided with our school's book fair.  Riley managed to con Nana & Gampa out of 3 big books and they bought one for Alex too.  It was a pink book that looked like a purse and all about the alphabet.  As soon as Alex saw it she grabbed it and yelled, "Mine!"  I don't know what she will do when she reaches school age and realizes that everything pink is not hers.
