participate in his love of fresh air.\u00a0 This goes against everything my inner couch potato covets, but I must admit that some occasional sunshine is nice.\u00a0 Kai loves to go hot roddin\u2019 on his new fancy bike (which is to say he likes to go the speed of a turtle on his new tricycle).\u00a0 Due to his limited vocabulary we often hear these words\u2026.repetitively: Ouside and Bike.\u00a0 He apparently thinks we don&#8217;t hear him, because he will repeat them several (hundred) times in a row.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><\/font>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\"

\/><\/font><font face=\"Times New Roman\"><font size=\"3\">His other favorite pastime is going down the slide on his super deluxe funhouse in the backyard.\u00a0 The first few years we had to help him go down on his own but he has finally mastered the skill of sliding.\u00a0 I no longer cringe to see him climbing up the steep ladder (fearing he will fall) and getting up to the slide level (fearing he would just walk off the other side that has no closure).\u00a0 Now he\u2019s old enough that if he falls I am fairly confident he will survive, so I feel much, much better, now.<\/font><\/font><font face=\"Times New Roman\"><font size=\"3\"><font size=\"3\"><font size=\"3\">Here are some action shots of Kai and his slide:<\/font><\/font><\/font><\/font><font face=\"Times
