School Work

As the school year is back in full swing, Andrew and I have been swamped in work.  Every fall is crazy but we never remember how crazy the falls are until we are in the midst of it all.  Elisha has gone back to daycare with the amazing, Paid Beth! He loves it there and has great friends.  This week though he has started something completely new.  Beth does a preschool program with her toddlers and Elisha is big enough this year to work on projects so today is day 2 of "preschool" and he brought home a book of "homework".  As a loving Mommy teacher we sat down and spent 4 minutes doing the  first pages of our book.  I LOVED seeing him sit down at desk.  I LOVED seeing him thrilled about a brand new "Elisha Pencil".  I LOVED seeing him just be happy to do his work, just like mommy and Daddy do.  I hope we can hold onto this love for as long as possible! 

My Big Kid Pencil!
(Yes, I know he should be using a short pencil to help his grip but it was brand new and I couldn't break it on the first day.)

Happy!


Totally making contact with the paper! Step one- check!
The color of the month is green!

Day 1: Student Project- Elisha's Family Tree :-)
I can't wait to see how much he changes this year!

Day 1: Writing his name- Yes, the scribbles he did on his own.
The tracing he did hand over hand.

Vacation Adventures 3b- Mommy and Daddy to NYC

With Elisha on vacation at Grandma's, Mommy and Daddy thought a mini vacation was needed.  Andrew would choose no other place than NYC to vacation for 2 days :-) I'll be honest though I have a growing love for this city.
