Halloween

We had a lovely Halloween walking the neighborhood as a family. I took the stroller just in case K wanted to go to more houses than C could handle. But the little pumpkin took to the concept of trick-or-treating very quickly, picking his own candy and putting it in his bag either Mom or Dad were holding for him. He was tireless - lasting the whole time, and the only time we carried him was when Dad put him on his shoulders to speed up the pace a little at the end as we were all getting a little chilly! It was fun and adorable to watch!

Prepping for Halloween

C enjoyed listening to Halloween stories and enjoyed bouncing balls in the big room. he slides down the slide and it's clear he is listening to stories more. he picks books and hands them to me now and says "UP" indicating he wants to sit on your lap to hear the story. he doesn't always listen to the whole thing, or he flips pages early, but he's interested. it's nice. I love when he asks to sit on my lap to sit, cuddle or listen to a story. It's so nice!

Played in art

glued the leaves he picked outside on paper plates...i just still can't believe he's big enough to use glue and art products!

Little one playing with friends

So today he enjoyed playing with legos with his friends! And came home with his first coloring project - a little bee (the letter Bb) - used crayons.

Baby boy played with playdoh today in his choice of centers. He enjoyed singing songs during circle time.

Second day in toddlers

Good day in toddlers. They painted in Fall colors which was so exciting. And he loved getting to know his new teacher Ms. Odetta who started her first day as full time lead teacher. We really like her and Ms Ayana. They're really sweet.

backwards on a bike

So newly in toddlers, baby boy gets to go out on the playground now! I can't believe he's so big that he's out there on his own playing with the big toddler friends. Really 18 months went by in a blink of an eye! He'll be driving before I know it. Teachers said he had a great day - played in the sand box and tried riding a bike - though he went backwards. Maybe he takes after Nonna who skated backwards. :)

Little one collecting fall leaves

Outside with his toddler friends enjoyed collecting fall leaves. He loves looking at the leaves in the trees and ones on the ground. K did too...she found some lovely ones. Looks like C will find unique ones of his own. :)

Walking with his friends

Baby boy enjoyed singing songs and listening to stories. Outside he had lots fo fun taking a short walk. On the walk he held Tola's hand. :)

Little one started in toddler room already

Well time does fly! Little one is transitioning to the toddler room... played in the science area with dinosaurs and playdoh, and got help using cookie cutters to make fun shapes. Growing up so fast!

Moving to the big room

Baby boy had a terrific Tuesday. He really enjoyed playing in the Big Room, he loved going down the slide and looking at the "big" fish tank. In the class room he played blocks and cars with Max and listened to a few stories with the rest of his friends. :)
