1st Day of Preschool!

Nathan started attending our Church's Preschool today!  He will be attending two half-days a week and has been talking about it all summer!  I did my best to capture some pictures of him this morning.  Do you know how hard it is to get an almost 3 year old to stand still?!

The best one I captured actually ended up being on my phone:

A little collage I made from pics captured on my phone:

When we got to school he walked in and said, "Bye Daddy". (I had already gone inside ahead of him).  Too cute!

We picked him up and he was still finishing his lunch.  Of course he was sitting right next to his Best Friend Callen!

My baby is growing up way too fast!

Fine Motor Fun

Now that I'm not teaching Kindergarten I've been bringing home some of my Fine Motor Centers for Nathan to try: 

Feed the Monkey with Tweezers!

Lacing Cards

Coloring

He was checking each truck off with his marker as he counted it!

Piggyback your cap!

Dyson

If you know me at all you know how much I LOVE my Dyson Vacuum.  Nathan's friend Ivy has her own Dyson and when I found it on sale on Amazon I knew I had to buy one for Nathan too!

We vacuumed side by side this afternoon!

Are we all done Mommy?

Isabella

Nathan's newest cousin arrived on July 31st.  When I told him Aunt Ashley had her baby and that it was Isabella's Birthday he asked if she was going to have cake.  Love his thinking!  He got to meet her just 2 days later when she came home from the hospital:

I love how he seems to be taking great care in holding her!

Smile for the camera!

Getting instructions from Grandma.

Nathan was very concerned about her umbilical cord and kept asking what it was.  He was excited to hold her and even gave her some kisses later on.  

We love you Isabella! Welcome to the family!
