The Jenks started off the summer enjoying a few popsicles on the front porch. Had to capture a few pics there! Rebekah is starting to get a mind of her own. She won't let you help hold anything anymore, like popsicles, cups of anything. She has to hold it herself now. She's also expressing herself and her independence with Rawson especially. She'll take toys from him to see his reaction (of course in retalliation to his methods with her). She's starting to take risks and we see that as she stands in her chair at the table or walks into the water at the pool and proceeds to go deeper and deeper. If she gets her face submerged it doesn't really stop her, which is good we think.
Victoria is just getting bigger, and this is her year to take off in the pool. She finally really got her face wet when we were at Eureka Springs for Brendon's triathlon 2 weeks ago. Now she's not afraid to go in. Doesn't matter if we specifically meet up with any friends at the pool, because Victoria is bound to make a new friend. And she always makes the effort to go find whoever she was playing with to say "goodbye" when we're leaving.
Rawson is over the potty training hurdle and just growing. Now with summer here it's not unusual for his naps to go over 3 hours. He's showing interest in a wide variety of sports. He'll swing the golf club, throw a football or baseball, and also loves to ride on Daddy's bike with him. He's taken a tumbling class and was a little hesitant to jump right in, so in due time with Rawson. He'll be doing a few camps this summer M/W/F of course one being about Diggers, Dumpers, and Dozers. He still worships the Backhoe.
