Keeping busy in Ohio

Andrew chalking yesterday We love the Farm Parks and Andrew got to go twice last week! Papa and Uncle Joey took Andrew for the antique tractor show on Sunday. Andrew loves tractors! Papa and Andrew taking a break to watch the tractors Look who came to the Farm Park with us!! Checking out the cows with a Farm Park employee Showing 'daddy' the train
Andrew's in a 'lil kicker soccer program. Here he is stomping and clapping the bubbles with the coaches and other kids.This is how we start out each class... Coach Beth rolls the ball to each child, who is supposed to in turn say their name and favorite food or animal or whatever the question is for the day. Andrew knows his name, but REFUSES to say it! He is very shy but he participates and loves both his soccer class and gym and swim classes. Each class we have time to kick the soccer balls around the field Here's Andrew building a tower with cones that he'll kick down and rebuild! Playing with a squishy ball that he bounces on his head, kicks, throws, etc. We end each class with the parachute and the kids love it! The coach puts a whole bunch of squishy balls in the middle and we use teamwork to make the parachute go up and down to make the balls pop off! Then there are a whole bunch of other games that the kids love that we do with the parachute.
