the kids have always grumbled about playing outside, and just recently cooper has realized that he has FUN out there – imagine the possibilities (he loves his scooter, his tricycle (though he just learned to ride his two-wheeler with training wheels three days ago), and play under the boat & behind the shed)! kendall is slowly following his lead (she loves to run, play horsey, swing, and generally boss cooper around — but she hates riding her bike). they also have been “walking laps” around the backyard fence, because that’s what kendall’s teacher makes them do if they misbehave in school. fortunately, kendall’s only gotten in trouble ONE TIME at school, for sloppy handwriting. let me tell you, if that’s the worst thing she does in school, we’ll be in GOOD shape!!!!!!
