Preschool

Well, today was the BIG day for our sweet little boy. He woke up with a big smile on his face, jumped out of Mommy & Daddy's bed (he snuck in there at some point last night & I didn't notice until about 5:00am), put on his new uniform, grabbed a quick breakfast, and headed to his very first day of Preschool.

And I must say, he was a very good sport, and didn't complain AT ALL during our mini-first-day-of-school-photo-shoot!

Once we arrived at his classroom, the nerves started to get to him just a bit, but the meltdown was quick and relatively painless. Daddy was able to get him to hang up his backpack, and put away his nap mat, and then I could tell it was time for us to make our get-away.

He still looked a bit nervous when we left, and there were definitely no smiles for Mama's camera, but I just know he is going to have a wonderful first day!

LOVE YOU BUDDY!!

my little man

Oh how I love this little boy! He is stubborn and hot-tempered and runs around like a little monkey morning, noon and night, but he is also the sweetest thing you will ever meet, and I am so very happy that he calls me "Mama."

 he is rockin' his new hair cut

Things I Want to Remember About this Easter Egg Hunt:
1. How excited he was to fill up his carton with exactly 12 eggs
2. How much he enjoyed sitting with me afterwards and looking through each egg multiple times
3. How he cracked up laughing when he found a pink chocolate bunny inside one of his eggs
4. How much he loved the football and baseball eggs
5. How he lined up with his class when the hunt was over to go to music class, and how he kept looking back to see if I was still there, and then smiling when he saw me and blowing me kisses

Our sweet little boy turned "3" on Saturday, and we celebrated at home with a Mickey Mouse soiree. Grant had been talking about wanting a Mickey Mouse party for months, and I spent the last 2 weeks hunting down everything MM I could get my hands on..........not as easy I thought it would be!!

Here's what we were able to pull together:

Four Generations

We were so blessed to have temperatures in the 70s on the big day (especially since the high here for tomorrow is 12 degrees!!). Of course now that I am looking back on all the photos, I realize I didn't get a shot of all the kids with their Mickey Mouse ears on, and I didn't take nearly enough photos of the birthday boy (he never slowed down long enough), but if the success of a party is measured by the smile on the birthday boy's face, then this one was a definite success!!

Happy Birthday sweet Grant.......we love you so very much!!
