Too Cool for School

Brooks and Ava playing for a little bit longer after we arrived to pick them up.

First Day at Playcare


I was not having much luck with getting a pic this morning. He would smile, say cheese, and either run toward me or look somewhere else. Anyway, I did not want to leave him this morning bc when we walked in his class every kid in there was crying. He just kept looking at me whimpering a little like "Seriously, you are leaving me here?" The two teachers said he did fine which means he cried on and off the whole time like all the others.

Purse Snatcher

He does this nearly everyday. He retrieves one of my bags or purse, drags it toward whatever door he is closest to, and says bye-bye. It is really precious.
