Everyone tells you that your babies will be grown up in no time flat, but I did not expect Nathan and Miriam to start driving this summer, just the same. Call it new mama naivety. Be that as it may, though, so far they're doing very well.

| Miriam- "I'm driving!" |
Except for the whole rollover incident, where Miriam was unbuckled (duh, there aren't any) and miraculously survived a rollover where she went through the windshield (well, where the windshield would be, anyway) with only a little dirt on her face. She was unfazed. I guess that she just expected something to happen when Nathan started pushing her around the yard. I was surprised, though, as our yard, while not exactly a putting green, isn't hilly enough that I would have expected him to hit a bump and cause the car to roll. Oops. Apparently the
Cozy Coupe
has a very high center of gravity.

| Nathan- "Smile at the camera, Miriam!" |

| "Bye!" |
They have been having an absolute blast playing with this, and I love it. I'm not usually into plastic toys, but isn't this practically a classic anyway? It was on my garage sale watch list last year, with no success, and this year I haven't made it to hardly any, but a sweet, sweet friend heard I was on the hunt for one... and dropped this one off in my yard since her kids are mostly too old for it anymore. :)
 |
| Miriam - "uhmm, Nathan, the door is over here...?" |
She also dropped off a slide and a little picnic table, so our newly picket fenced yard looks just as kid friendly and fun as it is! Now I'm daydreaming about a kiddie pool, since I know that both my kidlets would just love one, and as hot as it is, so would I. Plus, it would give Nathan a chance to wear
his new life jacket
correctly for once. (Thank you,
Stearns Flotation and
MOM Magazine! Cannot wait to try it!)

| this is NOT how it's designed to be worn! |
Of course,we have to wait for surgery to remove his tube first... but after that? Squirt guns and sprinklers and hitting the pool! :) I can't wait...

Also, don't let your child put a life jacket strap around their necks... in the immortal words, don't try this at home, kids. Am I done with the small print yet? I think so...

How cute! And those last pictures of him with the life jacket are hilarious. What a merry smile.
My boys love their cozy coupe (a garage sale find only b/c I saw it before the sale officially started). I cracked up over your small print, but I'd love to hear how Nathan likes the puddle jumper. I saw them described on the Baby Bunching website, and wonder if Liam would tolerate it (he won't agree to a vest or floaties).
Rita, he came up with that all on his own and we laughed so hard that now I'm pretty sure he thinks that is how it is supposed to go. Oops. ;)
Michelle, I'll definitely let you know how we like it... it'll be a while before we can try it, but I'm guessing I'll like it based on how well it fits him. The arms are snug, but allow plenty of movement. The other one we have (don't know the brand) is like a zip up the back shirt that buckles to the swim trunks and has some built in flotation. I kind of liked how much sun protection it had but I think this one is cuter. :)
