Big Changes

By
Jack had a big surprise when he got home from his playdate Friday morning. He had a new, big boy bed! I wasn't sure how he was going to react, but he was so excited! He wanted to get right in and lay down. He calls it his Elmo bed. (We bought a book called "Big Enough for a Bed" that features Elmo moving from his crib to his new bed. Clearly this sunk in. Check out the book on Amazon.)

We tried his afternoon nap on Friday, but that didn't quite work out. Jack was playing around and ended up falling out the bed (don't worry, it was only about 8 inches, no damage done). That evening, he wanted to sleep in the bed. It took him over an hour to fall asleep, but once he did, he slept the full night. He hasn't wanted to go back to the crib - which is great.

In order to fit the toddler bed, we had to rearrange the furniture in the room. Fortunately, everything fits and leaves space for Jack (and soon Spencer) to play. I really like the new arrangement!

Next up, moving Spence in with Jack. This one will be interesting and is a few weeks away - though Spence is out-growing his mini-crib.

Pictures of course!

Spencer Time

By
A few recent pictures of Spencer. He is growing like crazy and picking up all sorts of new skills like grabbing toys on the playmat, grabbing blankets or clothes and shoving them in his mouth, and his new favorite pastime, putting his feet in his mouth (with or without socks!).     Learning all the tricks on his first flight. We lucked out and got an extra seat for his carseat (ok, I lucked out, but still...)  Sleepy times with Grandma    Enjoying a new toy!   Such a big boy

This weekend, the t-ball team was short a few players. Spencer was called up from the practice team to fill in. He was one of the smallest on the field, but played well, even teaming up with Jack for an out!

Growing up

By
Jack and Spence "graduated" from their respective preschool programs in the last couple of weeks. While the road along the way wasn't always the smoothest, the outcome couldn't be better. At Spencer's 2s club event, the kids demonstrated all the new skills they had learned in the gym. Lots of forward rolls, big jumps on the trampoline, and amazing core strength. The kids then enjoyed their favorite book of the year: mean soup. Afterward each child received an award. Spencer followed Jack's footsteps on this part by refusing to go up to accept the award. Regardless, we were so proud of Spence. He loved having his independence, being involved in a class, making new friends, and just having fun. Next year Spence starts preschool at the Y. Jack's tender care graduation was last friday. The event was held in the Little Theater at the Y. Jack was so excited to be on the stage. The class sang several songs ending with what has to be the anthem of kids 3...
