Bicycles and Soccer Balls

The last two weeks have been eventful in the Topolski household. Of course we had a new addition to the family, or endearing Oliver. Jerry took the last few weeks off to be with me and the baby and it was really nice having the company. On Friday, Ania returned from camp and will be staying with us for the next month. I will be happy to have the company.
My sweet first born started soccer two weeks ago. I was a little trepidatious as he was not interested in the sportball class we singed him up for last spring. But for whatever reason he seems to like soccer. He loves running and likes to overtake the other kids. He is also a good foot taller than the other children in his class. This past weekend Pat and Avery came to watch the Tman in action. I am sure Avery is ready to join him any day now!

We also put training wheels on Truman's bike and tired teaching him how to ride it. He also really seemed to like it and hopefully we will take him out a few more times this week so that he can get the hang of it.

Truman last weekend was helping his dad clean the pool and he must have been helping him for a good half hour. I was so worried and was hoping that Jerry would put on his life jacket. Next thing I hear is two large splashes, Truman had fallen in the pool and Jerry jumped in to catch him. I was expecting a lot of tears, instead Truman exclaimed to us that he wanted to go swimming. The fall did not invoke any fear. Jerry and I have made a deal that from now on he will wear his life jacket when near the pool.
