So Busy

 

He is just so busy...it's hard to keep up. Luckily, he has learned to clean some of the messes up himself. This in particular was a shredded cheese incident because he MUST eat cheese in shredded form, not in simple stick or slice form.  

He's had some serious physical development this spring. He can ride his bike for a really long time, and he is getting more and more coordinated on his scooter.  

 

When you drink a lot of blue Gatorade, there's no hiding it. 

 This morning we saw the street sweeper go by our house, and then about 45 minutes later he was determined to "track it" on his bike. So we put Elias in the stroller and he lead they way. He literally followed the tracks in the street from the brushes underneath the truck. We went 8 blocks "tracking" it, and I was trying to figure out in my head how to explain why we didn't find it when all of a sudden there.it.was. An HOUR after it went by our house. I couldn't believe it, and boy was it worth the long walk to see Lewis' face when he had "tracked it"! He then decided we would follow it, but it was WAY too fast to keep up with on foot. I was planning what to say when he started melting down because we couldn't go fast enough, but he was perfectly content being left in the (literal) dust because, I kid you not, that thing found us three more times. Then it suddenly pulled up next to a dump truck...

 and dumped its load of trash! Pretty exciting. 

We went 12 blocks total, and not once did Lewis stop riding. It was by far his longest bike ride to date. And it was by far one of my favorite Lewis moments to see his face when I said "You did it! You tracked the street sweeper!"
