Learning and Growing

 This was in the spring when Ava turned 3, we gave her a new bike and helmet for her birthday (I found a "princess" bike on kijiji, for half the cost). The mom said her daughter outgrew it quickly and barely rode it. Ava took a few days to get the hang of it. She loves trying to keep up to her big brother. The other night she fell off, and didn't cry, she had a small scrap, but she is tough (like her mom).
 My 6 year-old lost his first tooth just before his swimming lesson on July 8, 2013.  He wasn't very photogenic this day. He was proud to get "100" monies. $1 =100 pennies). Since Anthony is becoming more interested in money, I took him to the bank to set up his first account. He was so proud to go in with a bag full of rolled pennies. My dad had rolled around $20 worth after they retired them. I kept a few of the years we were born. He saved up some allowance and Christmas money and extra tooth fairy money from grandparents. He was proud to shake the Bank Managers hand. They gave him a debit card that is blocked until he is older. When he left he told the teller that he is rich. LOL. $57.50
 Ed loved the shirt the kids made for him for Father's day. They traced their hands and smeared it a bit, so you can tell they helped make it.
We took a trip to Greenview Aviaries. It was a fun day. Anthony enjoyed the playful 1 year old tiger the most.
