Lion King

I took Henry to see The Lion King today along with his friends Meredith, Liam, and Jake. He loved it! We had watched the first scene online so he knew what to expect (and of course he has seen the film). He really enjoyed the costumes and how they created things like the lions running through the grass. There was a bit of dancing in his seat (and when Henry dances its like he is Vogueing - highly entertaining) and he sang along with a few songs. Overall a great show.

Half Birthday

Elliot is 2.5 today! We continue to uphold our traditional "balloon and cupcakes" celebration

Tooth!

Henry lost his 3rd tooth today - the first top tooth. So, now he has the super cute gap smile.

Cider Hill

It felt like fall today, so we headed to Cider Hill Farm in Amesbury to go apple picking!

Show and Tell

Every Friday they have Show and Tell at Preschool. The teachers sent me this picture of Elliot doing his first "presentation":

(and yes, one kid in his class is obviously not a team player)

First Days of School!

Summer is officially over and BOTH kids have started school! Elliot had his first day of preschool on Tuesday. We had short visits last week, but Tuesday was a full day without me there, and included nap and lunch. He did really well! Only a few tears at drop off. He is excited about being a big kid in school!

(and here is a picture they sent me of him napping the first day - too cute)

Then today was Henry's first day of SECOND GRADE! He was a little nervous because he switched schools this year, but overall he had a good day. He likes his teacher and the kids in his class. Wasn't so hot on his locker (They use lockers! His sticks).

Excited at breakfast...

Ready to go!
