On Your Marks, Get Set, Go!

Sure enough, Isabelle's lemonade money was quickly put to good use as the next night she came home to a brand new Razor scooter. This was far too exciting for her to even comprehend. She had been admiring her many friends at school that had them and now she had her very own to bring to daycare and school, she effusively thanked her Mom for picking it up, shouting "You're the best Mom ever!".  Oliver, never to be left empty-handed, also picked a slick Lightning McQueen themed 3-wheeler, which he took to like a fish to water. Given that his plasma car expertise is legendary, we were not overly surprised that the speed demon lives on. Sometimes with kids you never know if a new toy will click. In just a few hours, they have already had so much fun on these that we have no doubts they will be the staple of the upcoming summer. When Oliver asks to go for a "walk" and see the tulips, he doesn't mean he is going to walk, he means you are, because he's taking his scooter. Isabelle proudly parks hers in her cubbie each morning, ready to take it out as soon as she gets back from her morning of Senior Kindergarten. Every day we arrive at daycare to pick them up, Oliver and Isabelle, along with many other classmates, are zipping around and around this makeshift track, having friendly competitions. They couldn't be happier. Oliver has even taken his down Bank Street instead of getting in the van after school! Needless to say, they are happy to get out there and have some fun, just try to keep up with them!

Hurry up and take the picture so we can go!


Padded up and ready for the open road


On the move!


Always ready to strike a sporty pose


Not to be outdone (he has learned from the master)


Sightseeing and exercise, a great combination!
