Davey is learning to ride his bike with no training wheels. Dave posted a video on Facebook if you are interested in seeing it. Davey was super excited about it then got really scared once he tried it. After much talking with him he got back on a rode a little longer. With it being so hot here Davey doesn't really have the opportunity to practice ridding except in the morning on the weekends so Dave can help him. Just this evening Davey asked if they could work on it tomorrow. He is excited about it so hopefully it goes well tomorrow.
We have also started weaning Abigail off the pacifier. For awhile now she has only had it for naps and bedtime. We decided it was time to get rid of it so we threw all but one away, and have been slowly cutting the end of the pacifier down further and further. She notices there is a difference, but still insists on having it and biting it to keep it in her mouth. Tonight we cut it again and it is pretty short. Abigail is still fussing so I think we finally reached the stage that it is too short. We will see how it goes.
Cassia has been enjoying playing in the pool. At the start of the summer she was always really scared to go in the big pool and would cling to Dave or me. We got her some water wings and she has slowly built up confidence with them. Today we went to play at a friend's pool and she was kicking away all by herself with her water wings in the big pool. I had to keep reminding her to stay close to me, she was ready to swim all over the pool. Davey has been doing well in the pool too. He is super proud that he can put his whole face in the water and blow bubbles. He really enjoys playing the game where he puts his face in the water, opens his eyes and counts how many fingers I hold under the water.
