Fun Weekend

Had another great weekend and we are all definitely exhausted!  Noah was really busy- went to "Touch a Truck" yesterday morning and then spent the day today playing with some friends at a BBQ.  The "Touch a Truck" was a great event and really all it entails is a bunch of trucks in a parking lot that the kids can climb on/into and pretend to drive.  As you can probably imagine Noah absolutely loved this (he still hasn't outgrown his traffic obsession)!  He was running around to all the different trucks and couldn't get enough of it.  He did have some trouble climbing up on to them, but as usual he tried as hard as he could and made the best of it.  Was so cute to see him "driving" the trucks and making himself use 2 hands on the steering wheel.  As I think we have mentioned before he has gotten much better at holding on to things with 2 hands and I think this has been the biggest carry over from camp.  His favorite truck was the cement mixer and of course we waited in line for him to sit in this truck twice.  He was very cute pretending to honk the horn and asking how to turn the music on.

Later in the afternoon we went for our daily walk/run and Noah basically ran the entire circle without stopping.  He is getting quite fast!  Brad also put together the slide/climbing structure that has been sitting in our garage for the last 2 years and Noah was very happy to play on it himself.  He of course asked where the stairs were as he is still very nervous about climbing the ladders on these type of things.  I basically made him do it by himself and he did figure it out.  It wasn't pretty but I'm sure he'll quickly get the hang of it.  He called it his "pirate ship" and I'm hoping he will get a lot of use out of it.  Today we went to a BBQ at a friend's house and then Uncle Trevor came over for dinner.  Noah really loves Uncle Trevor and had fun showing him his new slide and playing golf in the backyard.  He also even asked him to help with his nightly stretches!  I guess this has finally become part of our routine and I'm really glad that we have been doing these every night.  Hoping that we can keep it going once the month is over.  Off to bed now as we are back to 8 AM OT in the morning!
