Happy (now quite belated) Birthday Monkeyman!

Okay, I have a bunch of posts in my drafts folder, so I'm going to make them short & sweet and power through so I can get them posted and get caught up.

So, two months ago, Monkeyman turned 6.  All I will say about his birthday is this:

We had a LEGO-themed party...

But apparently, we should have had an Angry Birds-themed party instead!

Just kidding - a good time was had by all!  We crammed many family members into our tiny house... because of limited space, Monkeyman was only allowed to invite two outside-the-family friends.  One was his longtime buddy, S., and the other was a new homeschooling friend, E.  He brought Monkey a handmade card that said "You are my best friend.  The end."  So sweet!  Totally melted my heart.

So, this happened about a month ago...

One unseasonably warm February day, we were outside playing and Monkeyman decided he just HAD to ride his bike without the training wheels.  For reasons known only to him, it was imperative that this happen immediately.  He badgered asked Daddy to take them off, but instead, Daddy gave him the socket wrench and showed him how to remove them... so he took his own training wheels off and *poof* now he can ride a bike.  Here he is in action!
