Today was...

A good day :-) Honestly I wasn't sure how it would be, the boys were up very late last night and then up at their usual time this morning. But, the reduced amount of sleep didn't seem to faze them. We went to a friends birthday party first thing this morning. It was at a lovely little park and the boys had a great time playing with their friends. It properly wore them out and after lunch Ben crashed for over 3 hours. Alex slept for about 45 minutes, but hey, at least he was in a good mood when he got up. We spent the rest of the afternoon outside playing and wouldn't you know it ALEX RODE HIS BIKE!!! I think it was just the cosmos aligning exactly right. It's very much a learning process but he had a great time and seems anxious to try again tomorrow, hopefully he will still feel that way in the morning. If not, at least he tried it today and that is something to build on!! Yay for the small things :-)
