They were troopers and had a blast! Sierra was pretty disappointed they didn't see any wild animals, but they did see ants, a big spider and lots of "reindeer poop", as Reid calls it.

Daddy is so fun
That hike was on a very chilly morning, down the hill behind Poppa and Lala's house. They were ready for their adventure with Daddy - binoculars, snacks and watching for wildlife. So fun!

Dance class
Sierra started a dance class a few weeks ago. It's her first time to do any kind of organized activity. It has taken some warming up to but she loves it!!!!
An hour and a half long (ballet, tap and gymnastics tumbling), 3 girls (Sierra is the youngest and the other two are almost 5), great exercise and coordination/balance practice.
I can't get over how cute she is in her leotard!!! So precious!!! She's not currently the most graceful or coordinated, but is having a great time and learning a lot :)
Reid and I stay to watch and he is captivated by the music and the big girls. It's been fun to have that time with Sierra's friend Gracie and for her mommy and little brother to hang out with us in the waiting area.

Wheels
First time on a scooter (3 wheels) and Reid picked it up right away. He had great balance and loved it so much he did NOT want to take turns!

Cheese in straw
I finally got a picture of the shredded cheese going into the straw...
Once he got a piece in, he would take a drink from the straw and giggle as he swallowed water and cheese together. Then he'd do it again...

IN things
Reid loves getting in things - boxes, baskets, suitcases, etc.
Can you find him in this picture?!
He only stayed like that for 30 seconds (as long as he stays still in any position these days), then sat up, then back down, etc.
Silly boy :)

Letter writing
Sierra has lived all things letters (and numbers) for quite awhile. She is currently interested in writing letters and words.
Our biggest challenge is her grip. She prefers her left hand but won't let me help her hold it correctly - and I'm not a lefty so it's hard for me anyway.
But we practice all the time!
After dinner the other night, I was writing a list of to do's. She wanted to make a list of letters. So we did the alphabet - I write each letter with dots and she connects the dots.
Here she is, concentrating very hard. So precious :)
