James gave his sister his old echo microphone and she loves it - I think its more of the vibrations that it gives off than the noise, but she will squeal into it and just giggle away.

I am not entirely sure what happened here. All I know is that John took James out for a ride on his tricycle and he came back crying about how he ran into the stop sign.

So then we had to go to Target and get a helmet, which James is very proud to wear.

I am not sure exactly why I let James go to the store in his pajamas, but I am certain I had a good reason. I do remember looking at this picture though and thinking "jeez, this kid needs a haircut".

And so we went and got a haircut the next day. And yes I paid double for a haircut at the expensive kids place, but James didn't cry and pitch a fit. Well worth the money.

Duke is always hoping for a bite of Madeleine's waffle in the mornings. It is kinda sad how every day he sits there staring at her and every day he doesn't get any. But he is forever hopeful.

 

Soccer is still going well. Every week James is improving and getting better at listening and understanding what is asked of him. I think at this age it is more about listening to the coach and following directions than skill. It is hard to judge any of their skills when they all basically run around in a mob together kicking at the same ball. It is always entertaining for the parents though :)
