Race Track Born

On Friday Ollie went to the sitter, his mom and I put in our laminate flooring. 12 hrs. later Ollie has a brand new race track surface. On the carpet we took out, he would push his toddler truck at a fairly slow pace. Now with the new flooring... watch out! He takes off like a dart. He's pushed his truck too far ahead of himself and fallen more in than in the past, but he isn't getting hurt. Not much difference than before other than the speed. He still can't steer, so we are constantly correcting his path. At least he doesn't get mad when he runs into things, he just keeps on going. Of course in the chair vs. Ollie and the toddler truck battle, the chair wins every time. Ollie usually ends up somewhere on the ground, sometimes over the overturned toddler truck. Maybe he needs a crash helmet!

Tooth Update
One is poking through, another is on the way out. We just need the next two to start and we may get a short reprieve. He's still crabby and clingy, but sleeping through the night. At least he's getting closer to eating real food full time.
