The Crash Site





Like a slow motion crash scene...
Only, the crashes aren't entirely real. It is a favorite thing for Owen - pretending to crash. He has it down to a science, where he can pedal his tricycle around and cut the wheel sharp enough that he will fall, with enough speed to fall but not enough to do real damage. And then he can pose himself under his bike and say "Crash!" He was kind enough to pose for pictures as well. He does very well on the 2-wheeler with training wheels now too, including the braking part that was so elusive at first. But he still loves to go too fast, and the other day he went flying over the handlebars for real after going too fast and cutting the wheel. Didn't phase him a bit. He rather enjoyed it, I think. Future mountain biker here.

The last picture is just me bragging about the homemade treats I took in for Owen's preschool exchange this year. Russian tea cakes. And they were good! OK, Natalie got Scotch shortbread cookies out of a bag for her treat exchange. Come on people, I only have so much homemade in me! And if I'm honest, it was most definitely wasted on the 2 yr old class... The tag had an adorable Russian doll on the other side. World Market had the best Russian gift wrap stuff this year!
