Swimming Lessons

I'm so proud of my Micah. He started swimming lessons all by himself. He's so big, he didn't even cry. (i cried my eyes out as a child and got blisters on my hands from holding onto the wall). I had my camera and took loads of pictures but will share just a few of my favorites.


They started out by dumping water on their heads to get comfortable
Working on floating on his back
Practicing his kicks

Me and my BOYS!

I decided to take the boys to the zoo, just me and the boys (the littles). It was one of the best days. I let Micah be the tour guide, which he loved and we just enjoyed ourselves. Micah even worked a visit to the ice cream shop in :)

My monkeys checking out the giraffes



Then that weekend just 2 days later we went the whole family. That was also super fun because Micah wanted to make sure dad got to see some of the special animals we saw days before.
Here are 2 pictures from our day, yes some how that's all i took.

Micah's 1st day of Preschool

On Tuesday, September 6th Micah started Preschool. We had gone a little over a week before to meet his new teacher and check out his classroom. He was super excited and so was i. I was a little sad to if I'm being honest. My baby has grown so much is such a short time. He truly is amazing.Here are a few of the pictures from his big day.


We added lots of animal buttons to his bag to make it extra special.
Josiah found a window perfect for peeking on Micah. He was so excited to see his brother.
Micah's teachers are Ms. Karen and Ms. Patti, well as of the 7th they were. When i signed Micah up he was in the 2 day extended program (Ms. Joey and Ms. Patti) but when i picked him up on Tuesday they told me they had an opening in the 3 day extended. I then had to decide weather to move him or not. The lead teacher was different but the assistant Ms. Patti was the same as well as the room. It was a hard decision because i really liked Ms. Joey but i knew 3 days would be so great for Micah especially with the baby coming. With that being said i made these 1st week of school survival kits. Band-aids, stickers, lots of stickers, chocolate, sugar, markers and lots of other fun stuff. (one of my students once gave me something similar and it made it that much easier)
