D on the potty (the video)

The time D got into the calendula cream

That's about $10 worth on his face.

D rides

Almost ready for R's bike.

Good thing he was wearing the helmet. He fell a few minutes after this photo and no injury!

D pooped on the potty!

Most likely just a fluke, but still exciting!

D hoopin it up (with some help)

Carolyn will never live this down. He will now ask her to do this everyday. (Mommy is too short.)

a waffle!

R snagged this waffle from our neighbor's house.

3 teeth lost in 5 days

He came off the bus so excited because he lost a tooth while taking his spelling test at school.

Love it when these three are silly together.

 

D's 3rd day of school

He cried again when I dropped him off, but they said it was only for 10 minutes and he was totally happy the rest of the time. They said he was a good helper because he helped to clean up toys. He was even happy when I arrived to pick him up and only concerned about getting R. He was pointing and calling for her saying "Ee! Ee!"

R said

When you are good in class, you get to pick out a treasure from the treasure box at the end of the week. R chose a pencil and said "I got it for E because he likes pencils and phones and I couldn't get him a phone."

Front top tooth #2

The tooth was about to fall out so he decided to try to eat a peach to see if that would get it all the way out. He was too scared to bite into it with the tooth so that didn't work. Then he tried brushing his teeth. All of this was with all of the cul-de-sac kids looking on. Brushing it didn't work, so one of the fellow cul-de-sac moms (Ilire) walked into the bathroom and just yanked it out on him.

E's selfie

D threw my iphone right into E's eye while we were peacefully reading at bedtime. E was hurt and crying. D said he was sorry and gave E a hug. E is such a good brother that he hugged him back even though he was so hurt. I found this selfie on my phone after the incident. E was trying to see how bad his eye looked.

E's first school event

E's elementary school had a spirit night tonight at a pizza place. A spirit night means that the restaurant donates a portion of its proceeds to the school. There was face painting and balloon animals too!

D's second day of school

D did great on his second day of school. He seemed eager to go in the morning. He got his shoes and backpack on well before it was time to leave, but then he cried when I dropped him off. However, the teachers said he stopped soon after I left and had a blast. He was happy the entire time. When I went to pick him up, he was asleep on Ms. Debbie. She said she just loves his hugs. His lead teacher, Ms. Dee, emailed me these photos.

D's first day of preschool

He didn't cry when I left him because he hadn't noticed I left, but when I picked him up, one of the teachers said he needed lots of hugs and attention. These are the photos from the morning.

This is the report they sent home:

And these are photos the teacher emailed to me tonight. She wanted to show me that he wasn't sad the whole time.

He was so tired after school.
