LJ's 1st Day of Preschool

LJ did great at his first day of preschool at WHPP!

I have seen so many pictures with this concept, and love the idea! I wish I had included his favorite sport (which he has informed me is basketball!), but I forgot! O well!

This was my first attempt before he went to school. It was crazy at our house and I was pretty rushed while doing it!
Thumbs up for the camera!
A smile for the camera...
With Capi... and insisting on adding his own touch to the chalkboard!
Love this one! 
Walking into the building... happy and excited! 
                               

Said good morning to his teachers, then headed straight to the kitchen and got busy 'cooking'! I had to call him to get a good bye/ picture! Think he will do just fine here!! 
 Ran out of time in the morning, so as soon as I got LJ home from school, I quickly tried for one more good photo- this time with a small white board. He was getting tired, and a handful! I begged him to stand and hold the board for just one picture, and he kept refusing, running around, etc... I tried promising him an M&M if he'd smile for me... still protested.  Then I promised him an M&M AND a gummy bear... he immediately turned around and gave me the pose below! Ha!  Nothing like bribing your child for a good photo! I am not proud, but I do think it was worth it! LOVE the pics I got!





Few other things from today:
LJ did great, and I love the school so far.
As soon as I dropped LJ off, I headed to an orientation for parents. They push parental involvement here (you have to join at least one committee and there are so many school events)- and I just love all of that!
 And even more importantly, his teacher (and her assistant) seems awesome! She emailed last night to say how excited they were to see everyone and sent reminders of what to bring, had a page full of information for this week and next waiting for us in the class room (songs they'd be singing, books they'd be reading, games, etc), and then she sent an email tonight with several pictures from their day (one of LJ eating lunch at the table with everyone and another of him in a firefighters hat and coat playing! Just like him!), and told us about their day!
Also, LJ pee peed in the potty at school with everyone else! I will be sending him in his undies soon (fingers crossed it finally clicks for him!)...

Trampoline Park

Went back to Trampoline Park on Sunday... LJ has gotten so much better and more confident - guess all the practice time on his little trampoline is paying off! Still so much fun for Dad...  And the Mamas finally get in on all the fun!  Last time we went I was VERY pregnant and couldn't jump... but not this time! I see a frequent Sunday family outing in our future! A little sliding time... And video gaming! Too much fun!!

Ellie - Our Earliest Crawler!

Our little 'surprise' baby got us again and started crawling 2 months earlier than the boys did! She was close for about a week, and then at just about 8.5 months, she took her first crawls! She is getting the hang of it quickly... time to secure the legos that seem to always be all over the floor! First she started rocking on her knees, and doing little army crawls/ knees/ army crawl to get places. Then about a week later, we saw her first crawls. Within a week after those first crawls, she was all over the place!!! She will come find me in the kitchen if I leave her sitting in the living room and will venture all over the house! She's not fast, but she's pretty good! And so proud of herself! Here are some videos of her progress...

Mother's Day Celebrations

Image
What a special and spoiled week I had!!! On Tuesday I picked these two precious things up from Champions:  Then the first celebration (well not including the Chick-fil-a mom-son date knight) was on Wednesday. LJ's class at WHPP had a Mother's Day Tea- and how lucky we were that Gigi came to town late on Tuesday night and was able to join me!!  Since Gigi was there (the only Grandmother in the room!), we got a table all to ourselves... and also LJ had twice the amount of work! He served both Gigi and me our tea/ lemonade, cookies, and fruit snacks!  He made me a very fun necklace and made me a new coffee mug all wrapped up...      I started crying when I read it: "This is the hand you used to hold when I was only 4 years old" with a hand print ned to it!!! How special!!  And a flower for Gigi!!!   This was outside LJ's classroom...  I am chopped liver with these two! Haha!!  We picked up Evan a...
