Under the weather

Our little guy has been feeling a little sick the past two days. He had a pretty high fever yesterday, but that seems to be down today. The upside to him being sick (if there is one) is that he is extremely cuddly, and he has actually let me rock him to sleep three times - which he hasn't done in months! Even though I cherish those cuddly moments, I hope he is back to his old self again soon:-)

Another zoo day!

I decided on a whim this morning to take Sam to the zoo before it gets too cold for the outside exhibits. It did rain on the way there, but after we visited the inside trails, the rain let up and we enjoyed some time outside. He definitely enjoyed this zoo experience more than any other time we've gone because he really gets excited to see the animals now. Once he saw this playground, he starting going nuts pointing and laughing with excitement, so he of course got to climb around a little bit too. For lunch he made it obvious he did not want to sit in his stroller, so I put him in a regular chair, and then he was happy as a lark as he ate his food. We also split an ice cream cone as a special treat, though as to be expected, it was very messy!

So one night when Peter was working and Sam and I were bored, we thought it would be funny to put one of Sam's shirts on Oscar. I don't have it on video, but Sam thought this was just hysterical!

This past weekend was Amy's bachelorette party. We had a little Mexican fiesta at my house and then we headed to Stillwater for the rest of the evening. It was a lot of fun, and we are excited to celebrate the big wedding day in just 25 days!

First Day of School

Yesterday was our first day of ECFE for this year. Sam is in the Tiny Tots class now, which means we have 30 minutes of playtime in the gigantic playroom, 5 minutes of songs, and then 25 minutes in the large motor room where he gets to climb around on all sorts of stuff. Just like last year, he loved watching all of the other kids and playing with new toys! Here is his first official first day of school picture where he is even sporting new fall clothes and shoes...

In the playroom, this was by far his favorite toy. He continually dropped the balls into the top and giggled as he watched them roll down the ramps all the way to the bottom.
In the large motor room, he LOVED this boat. I kept trying to get him to climb through the tunnels and go down the slides, but he kept going straight back to the boat!

Happy 3rd Birthday to Captain Will No-Beard!

We had fun celebrating with you at your Pirate Birthday Party!!!
