It's Like Time Travel

Logan's Papa, ("Steve's" father, I would post his name but I don't want to upset "Steve".) purchased a small electric four wheeler for Logan when Logan was 18 months old. Logan lived on that thing. It was very studly, purple with flames and it reached speeds of 2.5 MPH. Logan would try to drive off of the curbs. As you can see this four wheeler is very small the balance of weight and it's length is not really conducive for taking curbs. Instead of discouraging this behavior "Steve" taught Logan to take the curb at an angle and to lean back to avoid an endo.
Logan loved that thing and when he grew out of it "Steve" bought him the Jeep, which is another story.

We have not been able to get the small wheeler out for Castle because we did not have a charger. One of my neighbors owns the same wheeler and they were very nice and gave us their charger a few days ago. Castle will not get off of the wheeler. He loves it. He tries to drive off of curbs and is still learning to turn. I watch him riding the wheeler and I feel like I have been sent back in time a few years. He looks and acts like his brother did on that thing. It is bitter sweet.

Giggle

I love that giggle. The toddler giggle that is full of life and care free. It is heart lifting. I had to film it. Yes, I was tickling Castle. Yes, it was kind of mean. Yes, I would freak if I were being tickled like this. But it is sooo cute.

Graham Cracker VS DVD Player

Logan wanted to watch a movie the other day, we opened up the DVD player and I saw alot of crumbs on the DVD tray. I thought to myself, "Self, that is a bit strange.". I placed the DVD in the machine, closed the tray and it told me that there was No Disc. Hummm, I know there is a disc, I say it with my own two eyes. I tried opening and closing the tray several times, hoping for a different result. Of course none came. When "Steve" got home from work I mentioned to him that the DVD player wasn't working and told him about the crumbs. He said he would use his intuition and skills to fix the problem. I called him today to see how things were going on the home front and he told me that after a short investigation he located the problem with the DVD player and it seems that the DVD player will not work with a graham cracker deep inside of it's working parts. He let me know after he removed the offending cracker the machine works perfectly now. So in case any of you were wondering, can I play a graham cracker in my DVD player? The answer is "No.". But if you were wondering about the damage the graham cracker will do to the machine, I am comfortable saying it may not ruin the machine.

Castle on the Tramp

Castle has started to really enjoy the trampoline. It used to be that he would only go on it when Logan was, or when I put him on there as a way to corral him. Now he tries to climb the ladder by himself and once he is inside he does not want to get off. He will play there for hours if I would let him. He and Logan were on the tramp the other night and Castle started to jump, really jump. It was hilarious. I couldn't get it on film, but he would bounce once, clearing the tramp by an inch and on the landing he would fall forward or back, but he would get back up and try again. His typical trick is to run across the tramp and bounce off of the net. He thinks this is great. I do too, so I put it here for everyone else to enjoy.
