SWEET TREAT FOR MY SWEETIE

After a busy summer day of being a boy and king of destroying, Little P had earned himself a sweet treat - a cupcake, or "cake" as he calls it.  The icing is his favorite part and usually all which he'll eat.    Here he is showing off his sharing skills after the icing was gone as he gave Miss Bear her own tasty summer treat.

PRODUCTIVE

As I always say, a big boy sized mess is the sign of a productive day around our house.  Here is proof.

TOO BUSY

Here is Mr. Too Busy to break away from the tv for a quick pic for Mama.  Fortunately, he's cute...and he loves to carry around Charlotte's mended heart bear.  

FIRST BORN TENDENCIES

P's got 'em.  He loves order...structure...his way.  So my child!  And when it comes to his cars and trucks, it's game time.  No matter his plans for them, he always finds hours of entertainment in lining them up or arranging them "just so."  And don't think about moving them an inch or else...

FAREWELL "SCHOOL"

You LOVE "school" as we call it, otherwise known as Parent's Day Out at Schreiber Methodist Preschool.  During the fall semester, you went on Tuesdays from 9-220 and when spring rolled around, were going on Tuesday and Thursdays each week.  Thanks to Ms Leslie and Ms Kathryn, your first school experience was one for the win column.  You met each day with much enthusiasm and often times didn't want to leave.  Upon arriving in the morning, we would wash hands and drop off your lunch, nap mat, etc but I usually lost you after hand washing because you were already digging into an art project or raiding the toy bins. When I tracked you down for a kiss goodbye, it was usually acknowledged with no more than a head nod, as you were Mr. Focused on your task at hand.

Your year at Schreiber was filled with art, music, the SANDBOX and new foods!   (We had to dump your shoes of sand outside each day!) I was amazed that you ate corn dog bites...as well as slept on a nap mat.  You learned all sorts of new things all the while making new friends like Liam, Max and Miss Ryan.  And although the fun was coming to a close, you had Schreiber Science Week to look forward to during the summer.  Here are a couple of last day of school pics with Ms Leslie and Ms Kathryn.

SKY FLYERS

Otherwise known as kites, little boys just love the sky flyers.  So much so that earlier this summer, we took our little one to the kite festival in Las Colinas, he was in a sweaty heaven.  Truth be told, the dads may or may not have had more fun as they "taught" the boys how to properly fly a kite.  And once the little ones were bored (while dads kept on with the sky flyers) they found a rock which was WAY more entertaining.  The joys of boys.

MMM...CAKE

DIRT AND DIGGERS

Good morning, good morning construction site!  We couldn't have planned it better ourselves than to be the neighbors of a new house being built.  Little Man LOVES watching the activity.  And every time we're outside, he runs to the edge of our lawn and says, "hi workers!"  Oh to be 2...
