The last of the firsts...

At almost 4 years old, the "firsts" seem to be pretty rare around here. The first foods and first steps are a distant memory and most days we are just working on improving skills that we already have, uhmmm, like listening.

But we have experienced a couple of firsts this past month that have been pretty exciting.

1. Aaron learned to ride his bike without training wheels. In like under one week of trying. He showed in interest in trying and next thing we knew, he was off and pedaling. It was so fun to watch. He was so proud of himself and just looked like such a big boy pedaling along on his own. Video proof:

2. The boys had their first dental appointment. I wasn't sure if it was going to be more of an appointment to see if Mom and Dad ensure the routine of brushing twice a day (we try, but don't) or more just to sit in the big chair and see what a dentist is all about. Turns out it was a little of both, and both boys loved their experience and Mom and Dad didn't get into too much trouble! They were so brave and the dental hygienist was so, so good with the boys, so we were really lucky to have her at their first visit. Aaron chose Bubble Gum toothpaste to polish his teeth and Owen chose Cookie Dough (!) tooth paste. They had a cleaning, got x-rays and were super psyched to get new toothbrushes, flossers, and prizes at the end of their visit.
