Cool Dudes on the Vespa

Erik likes sitting on daddy's Vespa.  I mean who doesn't?  It looks cool and has buttons to push.  Today he and daddy struck a perfect pose.

Erik loves the water! Beach in the AM, Pool in the PM

Sundays are the best day of the week because they are our family day!  Since Erik decided last weekend that he loves the water, we decided to walk to the beach in the morning.  Today daddy ventured in the water with Erik.

Here is a cute video of daddy & Erik.

After lunch and a short nap, we were invited to the pool to play with our friends Kristin, Jim and McKenna.  A few months ago Erik tried swimming lessons and screamed and cried the entire 20 minute lesson.  We tried a second lesson & Erik cried the moment we walked into the building where the lesson was taught.  So we took a break...

And in true Erik form, when he was ready, he made the decision in his own time and know he loves the water.  I'm so glad we have learned not to push him and let him go at his own pace.

What a great smile and a happy boy!

Of course he has to have a ball in his hand,

Here's a cute photo of Jim, McKenna and Erik.  McKenna just turned 3 and has been swimming for over a year.  She is a great inspiration for Erik.

Here is a cute video of Erik who is a very strong kicker and the little Mermaid McKenna!

We Have a Soccer Player

This weekend we went to our local park at the beach called Heisler Park and daddy & Erik played a little soccer.

Erik Rides the Vespa

At our new home on Jasmine, Frank parks the Vespa right outside the front door.  Erik has been admiring it for some time and today he finally got to sit on it.

I'm number one!

Vroom vroom!
