Memorial Day Parade

Romeo

Yesterday afternoon I was outside on our step, watching Sully tool around on his tricycle. The neighbor girls (three of them, all under six) were out playing in their yard next door, and every so often Sully would pedal over and talk with them a bit before racing back down the sidewalk to our driveway. After a while, I noticed he was hopping off his trike, crouching down in the lawn, and then climbing back on to ride down to see the neighbors, only to repeat the whole routine again. I was a little confused...

And then I realized that, one by one, he was bringing each girl a carefully selected dandelion. The very last one was delivered to the girls' mom, and then Sully raced back to me on his tricycle with a big smile on his face. 

"Was that kind, Mama? I gave them flowers!"

Oh, my boy. You will go far in life.

New Wheels!

$10 at a thrift sale. Sully is smitten.

Cup Holder

For the past month or so, Sully has been carrying his little monkey friend (Named Tatertots. Or Gleek, when he's a super monkey.) around in the front of his shirt (as demonstrated in this photo here). I suppose he does this because he can then keep his buddy close while maintaining the use of both hands...brilliant, right? Well, yesterday Sully stepped it up a notch.

Faced with the dilemma of steering his trike while also holding his water cup, Sully simply stuffed his cup down his shirt. Looks a bit odd, but it works like a charm! Smartie.

(I feel I should mention this was a sippy cup. Do not attempt this with a regular glass of water.)
