The Roo's First Horseback Ride

So tonight I got home from work a little later than usual and The Roo was full speed ahead with a billion things to say (in his own little words) and to show me. Evidentially he thought it was just hilarious to ride Baxter like a bucking bronco or a horse and then fall off.

Just picture it, The Roo mounts Baxter like a bull and leans forward to hang on, Baxter wiggled a little when The Roo tried to grab his toy and then The Roo held on like Baxter was a bucking bronco or bull.

Note to Grandparents: If you're worried, we were right there, The Roo is fine, don't worry.

And then after that he just thought it was the funniest thing in the world to mount Baxter like a horse and bounce up and down on him and then fall off. Baxter was great and just let The Roo have his fun.

But no, I don't have any pictures or video of this fun! Maybe next time....

If Baxter Doesn't Like it....

Then The Roo doesn't usually like it. I got The Roo this fun outdoor water set that you blow up and then attach a hose to and water sprays out. It has a dolphin, a palm tree and even a slide. We set it up in the yard and Baxter was outside when we turned the water on. Of course, he barked. The Roo saw him bark at it. So when The Roo and I went to play in it, he got scared. This isn't the first time this has happened. Baxter always barks at the vacuum and depending on whether or not Baxter is nearby when we're vacuuming, The Roo will get upset at that too.

Recent Adventures of The Roo

The Roo has been very busy lately which is why Mommy hasn't updated the blog in a while (at least that's her excuse). Here are some pictures of his recent adventures.

The Roo is great at helping around the house. Hopefully he'll be just as good a helper when he's a teenager! The Roo decided he wanted to try soccer-tots. The hula hoop on the second Saturday has been his favorite thing about soccer so far. Mommy and daddy enjoy watching all the little tots run around. The Roo is happy to enjoy an activity where he doesn't get licked!
The Roo was introduced to finger painting. Finger painting is a lot of fun and it's of course even more fun to eat the paints.
The Roo enjoyed wearing his bunny ears and going on an Easter egg hunt. Even more fun was discovering that the eggs were filled with chocolate and trying to eat the chocolater before mom and dad could take it away.

Sometimes the Parents Need Supervision

But really, it's so easy to blame The Roo when he's the one holding the marker!
