Sara and Jonas love swinging. It has been so fun having a swing set in our backyard :) They love playing on it. Jonas didn't like the swing at all until recently. He now prefers the big kids swings. Sara can get herself started and pump until she gets really high. They're getting bigger :)
Jonas received 2 sprinklers for his birthday. Turns out he doesn't like sprinklers :) Sara, however, loves them! Jonas does love the pool :)
Sara has been playing her second season of soccer. She remembers many of the skills from the fall and has been enjoying learning more. She now has 2 jerseys, so one of her favorite things to do with Jonas is to play soccer. They both go downstairs and kick the soccer ball around. Jonas loves wearing the jersey (which is huge on him) and playing soccer like his big sis.
Some days Sara and Jonas play so well together it simply amazes me. They are kind, share willingly, think of things to do together and I think wow this is great and not so hard. Then, in the next moment they are fighting over one little item, both crying and screaming. Thank God for the good moments :) I suppose in my own life I have the same tendencies - okay, I know I do. It is really fun to watch them interact and play together. I love seeing the friendship grow.
Jonas is 2 now!! For his second birthday we had family over for cake and ice cream. Jon decorated the cake to go with the truck theme. Jonas loved the cake and ice cream and opening presents! We had gotten a bike for him, that I thought he would be able to peddle so he could keep up with Sara - no such luck! He has to scoot it around - he still likes it, though :)
For my birthday, Jon threw a surprise birthday party. It was great!! On the actual day of my birthday, we took the kids to do free things in A2. We got bagels at Zingerman's, pizza at Aubree's and played in the park. It was a great way to celebrate!
