Zeke is our tried and true kite. Pretty much he'll get up any time and is a no brainer to keep him up. Chloe is getting so much better at moving the string around and gaging when she needs to move closer or farther away. She is also getting more brave at letting out the string.
Our new kite is Petunia. Petunia is much prettier with Zeke but she also more difficult to keep up. She likes to twirl and race around--which is very thrilling for the kids to watch--but she is also very likely to loop around and slam right to the ground. So Tati is really stepping up her game at knowing how to launch. We say: 1-2-3-LAUNCH! Then the person holding the kite throws it up into the air. So Tati was good at both launching and commanding the launch.
Gavin was just happy to run around between kites and get to hold some of the string.
His biggest struggle was keeping his pants up while he ran. Ha, ha.
He also really enjoyed looking for bugs. He is so cute and growing up so fast. He studies the bug and tries to softly touch it and hold it and then you look away and the bug is dead, smashed and he's either asking for a kleenex to wipe the guts or has already wiped the guts on his clothes. Gross.

WHen I first saw the name of your post I thought maybe you had your baby and named her Petunia!! So fun to see your kids flying their kites. You guys are such a rad family. Gavin is also such a stud.. I can't believe how quick our group of spring babies have grown up.
