Happy Halloween!

My sweet Trick or Treaters getting ready for some Halloween fun!

10.23.2012

One year ago today, I received one of the most wonderful blessings in my life. There is something so special about Boden and he certainly is worth celebrating. He melts my heart. His personality is so innocent. He is a soft, calm, always content boy. I can't wait to see what kind of person he becomes. I am eternally grateful for the opportunity to be his Mother. He has already blessed my life in numerous ways.

Here are some fun facts about Mister Bo Bo:

Boden follows big Brother Lucas wherever he goes.

He loves to snuggle Lucas, but when snuggles turn into wrestles... he quietly crawls away.

He took his first steps and has become VERY cautious, happily crawling wherever he goes. Just to play it safe. He only takes steps when he's not thinking about it.

Boden loves to dance. LOVES to.

He sings along when I sing to him.

He loves to be chased.

He is very sensitive. When I get hurt or am out of sorts, he senses it. On occasion he will pull my hair or bite without knowing and when I say "ouch" He MELTS - almost apologetic.

Boden loves wearing things on his head. Anything. He crawls into closets and drawers and comes out with something new on every time - usually frustrated if it doesn't stay on.

He loves watching airplanes and being outside.

Climbs stairs very well and FAST.

He is a very good sleeper - he just needs to be in his crib.

Boden loves Green Beans and yogurt, hates carrots.

...and apparently loves cake:

I love you, sweet Bode Boy.

Happy Birthday!

PRESCHOOL

Posted by Sara

Preschool is upon us!

So far, so good! Lucas was very ready for the transition and loves Mrs. Rumel.

Lucas has a late August Birthday, so he can easily start school next year, or I can choose to keep him back. This is an upcoming decision that weighs my mind heavily. I thought my mind was made when we enrolled him in the 3 year old class because he had JUST turned 4. 2 Days into school, I got a call from his teacher concerned that he was bored. So, we bumped him up with the big 4 year olds and he is doing much better. I'm still unsure about Kindergarten, but we still have time to evaluate him when the time comes. I hate to send him off into the "real world!"

Overall, he is a SPONGE and every day he comes home telling me what new and exciting thing he has learned. He loves show and tell, being the snack boy and carpooling with buddy, Riley.
