Sticker Club

A friend introduced us to the sticker club. You have probably seen the recipe "club" where people send you an email asking you to attach one recipe, move their name from #2 to #1, and then forward the email to 6 of your friends.  Well, sticker club works off the same concept.  In the end, the children could possible get 36 packs of stickers from only sending one pack to another child. 

Trenton has enjoyed checking the mailbox in the afternoons for his mail.  He opens it and is delighted in the stickers inside.  He likes to immediately pull them off and stick them to himself or nearby items.  It is a fun routine for him (and me) right now.  Wonder what is going to happen when the stickers stop?  Guess I will have him open some junk mail and I'll play off how exciting it is because it is a treasure map!  (By the way, all cards, flyers, etc are treasure maps according to this 2 year old with the biggest imagination ever!)

Buzz Glider

Mommy thought she had bought a kite for Trenton, but we learned it was a glider when Daddy put it together.  Nevertheless, Trenton had a great time throwing Buzz and letting him soar through the air.  Pretty soon, Daddy and Trenton were wrestling on the grass, not just throwing the glider.  Trenton loves to prove how strong he is to all of us. "I'm strong!  I do it!" he constantly recites. 

 

Woody Pajammies

It has been such a warm couple days reaching the 70's in February.  We weren't really equipped with summer pjs yet since all ours are footed, fleece ones.  Then, we realized we had the thin, non-footed Woody jammies from Uncle Ryan, Aunt Suzy, Riley, Chase and Hutch.  Trenton got a kick out of being Woody and he looked so darn cute running around the house in delight as one of his favorite characters! 

Coastin' Down My Coaster

Trenton loves his coaster!  His favorite part is riding it backwards and screaming in excitement as his pushes himself all the way across the driveway to the fence.  He then flies forward straight at you, and we created a game where Mommy has to jump out of the way right at the last moment before he runs her over.  He loves it!  (It also encourages him to push the car back up the roller coaster by himself--aren't I smart?!) 

 Thanks GiGi and PaPaw for such a fun toy! It is perfect for my driveway!

 Backwards is the way to do it!

Here is Trenton loving every moment!

Circus

We went with the Vasells to the circus.  Trenton was very serious through it all.  Guess he was taking it all in and relatively calm sitting in laps for the duration of the show.  The flaming person catapulted across the arena was a bit too much for me to expose a 2 year old to; however, the traditional elephants and clowns were exactly what was pictured.  Hopefully, he didn't get any crazy ideas!  :)

 The best part was the elephant demonstration.

 Trenton liked the people on stilts that were doing all sort of basketball slam dunk tricks. 

 The ring of death was very entertaining.

 Trenton, don't try this at home!

The grand finale was full of life.

Outdoor Fun

Everyone who knows Trenton knows exactly how special the outdoors are to him.  He is all boy for sure!  We often go on treasure hunts looking for sticks, rocks, acorns, anything that he finds fascinating in nature.  He sticks were an obvious favorite this day. 

 Trenton has his truck to put his treasures in, but most of the time he tries to carry each and every one of them.  And when he drops any along the way, he gets so flustered and just doesn't understand why ten items cannot fit in his little hands. 

 This, most definitely, is a Leskoven expression!  Tongue to the side of the mouth means you are in deep concentration.  Opa did it serving in tennis, Mommy did it shooting free throws.....and the gene continues.

 Trenton saw I was taking a picture and knelt down saying cheese.  Do you think he is used to a camera? :)

North Pointe's Carousal

Trenton seemed excited to ride carousal at first, but then was ready to get off before the ride even stopped.  We tried!
