Catchin' Up

I was going through photos and videos from this summer - sorting, editing, deleting - and realized there was a lot of good stuff I didn't get around to posting. So get comfortable, this may take a lot of scrolling!

E asked if I could paint his fingernails! I just couldn't say no, but I am hoping it's only a phase :)

We take lots of walks like this

There. I feel like I've caught up!

New School

Today was Elliot's first day at a new preschool - an official preschool, inside a real school, as opposed to the daycare center he had been going to since he was 12 weeks old (sniffle. where does the time go?). He had a great experience and learned a lot at his "old" school, but the "new" school is closer to home - walking distance even - and is in the elementary school which we plan to have him attend. To help add a little appeal to the idea of a new school Elliot got to pick out some new shoes. Surprise, he picked Iron Man light up shoes - Spiderman light up shoes did not come in his size.

Elliot seemed a little nervous when I dropped him off, but we walked around and checked out the room until he discovered the fish tank. Then he was ok with saying good-bye. I was probably more sad about leaving than he was! After picking Elliot up, he filled me in on the highlights from his afternoon - they read books and sang songs in "group time", had bananas, cheezits and milk for snack, he played with trucks, he played in the sandbox outside, he peed and pooped, and he does not remember the names of his classmates. There you go.
