Tyler's Big Week and Vincent's Nickname

Our little TyTy had a big week!

First of all, he started t-ball on Wednesday!

Then, he had his preschool end-of-the-year picnic, where the "graduating" kids were recognized with little paper caps and certificates.

And, finally, his last day of school was today. So bittersweet. I took him out for a treat, his choice. He chose to have a donut.

 

Look at these pictures. One from today, and one from April 2011.

 

We ended our evening with the annual Montlake Elementary carnival down at the community center. Vincent has made himself a few new friends this year. He seems to be pretty tight with them. They found each other at the carnival and got all excited. Or, at least, he seemed excited to see them. I think they were, too. Twice tonight, I overheard 2 different friends call Vincent by some nickname he's been telling us about this year. I didn't realize it was kind of a normal thing. "Vicer," or something like that.

Here they are, putting disappearing ink into their water pistols. Sigh. Even the girls were getting into this, so I can't just say, "oh boys..."

The Walkers And The Runner

What is that clipped to Crosby's back? Yesterday, Vincent thought it would be funny to track Crosby's steps. Yup, that is a pedometer. It's pretty cute to see him romping around the house with it on. He sort of doesn't realize it is there. And, he only wears it for about an hour or so, but he sure gets in a lot of steps. Today, over 2000 steps! Imagine if we tracked his whole day. I guess we'd get that many in too, if we had such short legs. Heehee.

The other walkers today were David and Tyler. Tyler asked if he could walk to school several months ago. Since this is the last week of school, we finally got our act together and figured out a day for him to do it. He and David walked Vincent to school, then walked up the hill to Tyler's school. He made it before 9am.

And, finally, our runner, Vincent. He has been participating in Montlake Milers since the start of 2014. Early on, he said he wanted to reach a goal of walking enough miles to total a marathon. He has been working pretty hard at it, but with rain, a busy household, and just plain not feeling up to it, it looks like he will fall short of his goal. BUT, today, he passed 20 miles! AWESOME!

Oh, and I walked/ran on the treadmill today. Looks like we all did our part to stay fit today.
