Anders and his dad have been riding home from work and Montessori for a week or two now. This has greatly increased Anders' obsession with bikes (which was pretty big to begin with).
He really likes to wear his helmet now, and mine and Will's...
He might miss winter and bundling up a bit, I bet he won't miss it too much in a few months.
He did some building today. This was all done on his own, maybe he can be an architect if professional biking doesn't work out.
Or maybe he will be a chef, famous for his use of applesauce as a condiment. I actually did get him to eat all of this, despite how disgusting it looks. Oh! We just had an exciting moment, Anders just came and got me and said "ba-ba" which means bathroom. So, we went in there and he sat down and pooped in the toilet! This is the first time he has told us he needs to go. I would love it if it was the first of many, but I won't hold my breath.
I'm cleaning out the secretary and Anders discovered these twine balls. I worked out a trade for a real ball before I had twine all over the house.
Here is an action shot of his throw to his dad.
We also had some outside time today.
This is his new coaster bike. He loves it, but is a little leery of it. He is much more comfortable on his little Radio Flyer tyke bike, but he is getting the hang of this. Hopefully we can get motivated to put a video of him on the bike on the blog soon.
We also refilled the bird feeders for the squirrels, chickadees and cardinals. 
After nap time today we rode bikes over the park near the Mississippi. We had two main purposes in going - so Will could ride his new bike and so we could check out the herons, which have returned to their rookery.
Anders has a new found love of slides.
He went head first down this one on his own. No kidding.
This is a big slide - probably 7 feet or so. Here he is getting ready to go down.
Again this was all his decision to do this. He decided to treat it like stairs.
And go down feet first on his belly! He went at least twice more and loved it!

Good job with the potty, Anders! What a big boy! And what a fearless kid, too, going head-first down the big slide. At one point Drew would have tried that big of a slide (on his tummy), but lately he's become more afraid of things like that, so he probably wouldn't even think about it.
Nice shades, Anders! Joe Cool!
