Preschool & Lucy time

Ben started preschool on Tuesday. He was so excited for his first day of school. In the morning, I found out there was a 2 hour delay (because of fog), so his schedule is changed and shortened by an hour. Then, we had another delay this morning! He was really bummed because he wasn't sure they would have time to play on the playground. I hope we can at least try out the normal schedule tomorrow. I'm so excited for what Ben will learn this year and the friends he will make.

The school that he goes to wants the kids to use tote bags that they provide. You can decorate them however you want, it just needs to have their name on it somewhere. Ben loves Mario, so we had this great idea to use paper that you can print on, then iron onto a tote bag. I read the directions and even did several tests, but on the real bag it was a DISASTER! Parts of the pictures and his name came off or were loose. I discovered that it would scrape off of the bag, so I spent forever getting the bag ready for another try. Well...two more tries later we finally had a bag with his name, Mario, and Luigi all intact. It looks good for now, but I'm sure parts of it will start falling off in a few weeks (since some edges are loose). I'm am so happy that he can use a backpack next year!

 First day of Preschool!

 Silly face

 Lucy and I are enjoying our alone time together.

She's been moving around quite a bit. She isn't quite crawling all the way, but she scoots herself backwards and rolls all over. It funny to watch her back up into things and get stuck because she can't seem to more forward. Once in a while, she'll move herself into a sitting position. She's still a bit wobbly with sitting, so we have to really watch her!
