Brady's last day of school was a fun yet sad day. We had an exciting luau complete with cake to celebrate the kids moving to the four year old class next year. Every parent received an awesome portfolio of their child's best projects throughout year. I was pretty surprised at some of his projects that were kept top secret. We even received two discs of pictures that one day this summer my goal is to download and share with you. The sad part is having to leave behind Ms. Del as a teacher. If there was ever a competition for BEST PRESCHOOL TEACHER EVER she would win. Not only was she loving and caring, they just did some pretty cool stuff. They had daily science experiments, cooking classes, and messy art projects to go along with the regular curriculum. Brady's next teachers have a hard act to follow. Hopefully we'll get lucky and Ms. Del can be Cash's teacher. Speaking of which, Greg and I have a bet of how long it will take Cash to look at his teacher. As you can see in one of the pictures, Brady's friends are trying so hard to talk to Cash and he's refusing to look at them.(BTW, Brady took them over there and said "Do you want to meet my baby brother? So sweet.) Even more so, every morning for car line a staff member gets Brady out of the car on Cash's side. Cash was right there in their faces and he purposely looked the opposite direction all year. Not once did he make eye contact. I give him two weeks before he looks at his own teacher next year. Any takers?
***Note: I am still having a hard time accepting that Brady forgot his best friend. :( I think he just must have been having a bad day when his teacher asked him. hehehe
Check out Cash’s shiner! I wish I had a cool story to tell you about how Cash received his first black eye but nope, poor Cash unfortunately inherited his mommy’s clumsiness and ran smack dab into the corner of the couch. Ouch!
***Update: Since writing this entry, Cash has had yet another shiner on his other eye from a fall Memorial Day weekend. Not to mention, scrapes and bruises on just about every inch of his body!
We have seen four different turtles in our yard this month alone. This is a pic of Sheldon, the huge grandpa turtle, we found in our front yard no doubt looking for all of his lost family members. I think we are on way to our very own Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle gang!
When Daddy needed to make a new name badge for himself, he thought it would be pretty funny to make one for the boys as well. The descriptions are dead on but I don’t know who the picture of the little “Guido” kid is standing in for Cash!
Well the 2010 Water Play Day at Little Lambs was a success in Brady's eyes...in other words Daddy got to go with him while Mommy stayed home with Cash! We started with some washing of cars, spraying water on one another to becoming a movie star...sort of. Brady, the Stormtrooper, was a hit. While covered in shaving cream, he chased anyone who would look at him, especially his girlfriend Maddie. The whole class hit the water slides next. Brady wanted to stay on the fast slide or "dast" slide rather than the slow one. Maddie even helped push her boyfriend up on the slide. We logged 25 minutes of slide time and ended by giving all the kids slurpies. I can't wait to see Casharooski at his water play day next year. He will be the one washing the car, spraying water on everyone, and the first one in timeout after he slugs the first kid to get his golden goose hair wet! Daddy out.
We had the best time with our friends Cass and Mason at the Children's Museum. It was Member Friday so there weren't many people there. We took full advantage and the kids had free roam of the joint with no lines or crowds. Their favorite station was the construction zone where Cass was the foreman. After lunch we went upstairs to the Tot Spot so Cash and Mason could play. We tried to get a picture of the old gang together in the famous little car but with four kids, four and under, unfortunately this was the best we could do. This was the first time that Brady actually seemed too old to play around the toddlers so we headed outside to run off some steam. The kiddoes loved the Water Works area even though it was smokin' hot outside. We ended the day with a group hug and hope that we can see our friends again soon!
Frogs and snails and puppy dog tails, this is what little boys are made of...sweet Brady Bear is six years old and precious Casharoo is four years old and growing bigger everyday!
