The one about my buddy - Dawson

My little buddy and I have been settling into a new rhythm.  Can I just say that I'm really enjoying spending time with just one child.  I forgot how easy having one child is!!  Of course, I miss Carter and Ava desperately and I wish they were home with me too.  But I know I'm always going to look back at this time with just my little buddy as a really special time.

We are playing legos, but he has also been really interested in board games.  We usually spend most of the morning playing The Ladybug Game, Scooby Doo Pop a matic (like sorry), and his very favorite Hi Ho Cherry-O.  I laugh because although he is interested in playing we rarely play by the complete set of rules!  I am also proud to report that he is almost able to write his name!  He just needs help with the W, S and N.  Usually he will trace them.

Although he loves preschool, he is still crying at drop off time.  It seems like this transition at three years old to being apart from Mom for awhile is tough.  All three kids have struggled with it.  Today was his first gymnastics class and there was about three minutes of tears, but he quickly recovered.  In the picture we checked out a local donut shop as a treat for not crying at preschool.  He enjoyed it!

My budding Chef!

This kid loves to cook.  One morning out of the blue he asked to make tomato soup for his preschool teachers.  So we did and he was so proud to bring his tomato soup in for his teachers.  What a kind heart!  Love my little buddy!
