Linus was reading me a book. I can’t believe it! So exciting. (Not the book. Definitely not the book. Dot is boring. Just the fact that he’s reading. That’s exciting.)

Bike ride at sunset

We have a nice paved path along the levee by my house that is about 4 miles long, so yesterday evening, I went for a ride to get some fresh air. Had to stop along the way a few times to take some pictures with my phone.

Thank god baseball is over. It’s time to accept that the boys just weren’t that into it (although Miles says it’s “his favorite sport”, but considering how much I had to fight them to go to practices and games, I’m not totally convinced.)

Naturally, though, once they got their trophies, they were all three proclaiming their love for the sport and asking when it was going to start again.

I think maybe we’ll look into karate next. Hmm.

Big milestone! Linus lost his first tooth! He was so nervous yesterday (it was super wiggly, thanks to an errant shoe to the mouth courtesy of Oliver) but by today he was just ready for it to be out. Not ready enough to attach a rocket to it, mind you, but ready.

His brothers were nearly as proud as he was. So sweet!

Now I just have to manage to sneak into their room later to do my Tooth Fairy duties.

But that gap made me a bit teary. The last vestiges of babyhood are going. Sniff, sniff.

Okay, this is a little bit gross, but Linus has an adult tooth coming in before he’s lost any baby ones. It’s weird because the other two have no loose teeth or emerging teeth, but they got all their baby teeth at the same time.

Genetics are weird, eh?

Randoms

This is big – the boys are reading! I mean, we’re not talking Harry Potter books yet, but on a whim, I got a set of Bob books at Costco the other day and Linus and Oliver basically confirmed that they just needed a tiny nudge to get reading. I think they’ve been on the brink for a while, but I hadn’t really tested it to see.

Miles wasn’t as interested right away, but by Tuesday night, he was reading away as well. So fun! They are so proud of themselves, and so excited, I love it. It makes me so happy!

In other news, I wrote a post today for the New Orleans Moms Blog – go take a look!

Things only a parent thinks about

youplustwoparentingSpeaking of blog posts – my friend Rachel is getting a lot of attention (an article by the Today Show!) for a blog series on playing with your kids (called 28 Days of Play). I wrote an article for the series that will be published sometime later this month. I’ll be sure to post a million links to it, don’t worry.

Don’t let me forget to show this to the boys when they’re older and whining about doing homework.

Linus had a little assignment to do, and Oliver and Miles were so jealous, I had to go print out some worksheets for them. I can’t really blame them, I loved doing worksheets too.

Got myself a new friend here. Is this not the most adorable baby boy ever? I wish I’d gotten a picture of his giant gummy smile, it was perfect. Just like his round little head. Gah!
