Catching, Leaping, and Sitting Supremely

Apparently there's nothing like sliding down a concrete sidewalk backwards on your belly, because Rose does it just about every single time we are outside.  I don't get it, but I never intervene unless she is about to roll right over a massive chunk of bird poo.

Dale would much rather play frisbee with Daddy.  He positions his hands just like Daddy taught him to, ready to clamp down on that frisbee.  He's so proud and happy to play catch with Daddy.

We like to carry things on our heads.

And we always smell the flowers.

Sometimes we get upset, but with kisses and hugs we always recover quickly.

Once we were bored with the frisbee, we moved on to important life lessons, like how to jump over a sprinkler.

Rose and Dale watch Daddy carefully, so they too can master the sprinkler jump.

While Dale and Daddy practiced their leaps, Rose sat like a queen on her thrown overlooking the scene.  We love our blue chairs.  They were Winnie and Dale's chairs, and we lovingly restored them to their original bright blue color.  They make me happy.

Her Royal Highness of the Backyard sits supremely on her blue throne.

Cute Kids Overload

If you ever feel like you are in the mood to giggle, or you have a hankering for pink tulle, just visit a three year old dance class.  There isn't a single thing about this class that doesn't make me smile.

Every once and a while, I can manage to get a short video through the classroom window.

At the end of every class, the well behaved toddlers get a sticker to put on their star.  Dale always makes sure to tell me about his sticker.  He also tells me who doesn't get a sticker by pointing and talking loudly about it in front of all the other parents.

The whole dance class experience makes Dale feel like such a big boy.  He is very well behaved and wants to push Rose in and out of the school.  On this day, Rose wanted to wear her dance outfit too.  She cannot wait to be three.

After dance class, we headed to KState to watch Daddy play Ultimate Frisbee.  For some reason, running around in 100 degree weather makes Daddy sick in the head happy, so we just go with it.

We watched from afar in the nearest shaded spot we could find.  Both Dale and Rose wanted to run onto the field.

There were also fights a brewin', so we didn't stay long.
