Today was Drew's first day of preschool at the Cole School! We learned in late August that he was accepted off the waitlist and we couldn't have been happier. Jack went to preschool here as well and had the same teachers (Ms. Anne & Mrs. Judy) and we know Drew will love it as much as Jack did. We were a little nervous about how he was going to be this morning (new school, new friends, new teachers - not to mention leaving mommy) but he did great! No tears, no whining, no "one more hug". Just Drew being very excited about being a big boy! YAY Drew!
I finally got around to introducing Ben to the world of solid foods today! All went as expected - funny faces, a little eating, and lots of play time with the spoon.
Jack is playing soccer again and they now have practice too! His team has both 1st & 2nd graders and a couple of his friends are on his team again - Andrew & Riley. Riley's dad is his coach (he was last year too!) and Drew is thrilled because Riley's sisters (he has 4) are his "friends". They love playing with him and he loves the attention!
Leah came home for the weekend and so we headed down to Mattapoisett. It was the perfect day - beautiful weather, lots of family time, and not doing much of anything.
I took Jack and Drew to the beach today and on the way home we stopped at Dairy Twist for the first time. Every time we drive by it is PACKED with no place to park and long long lines. But today, I am assuming because it was the middle of the day and in the middle of the week, there were only a few people there. The boys loved it! Drew had to have a cup AND a cone and he takes after his big brother and dad and ordered vanilla. But Jack was a little more daring today and went for oreo!
