We're Officially In Preschool - And It Wore Us Out!

Over the weekend we got to the park behind our house -
despite the 98 degree weather. We're very grateful for the
trees that shade it!  Sawyer can climb up almost all of the
challenges and loves going with Daddy to show off.  He also
got in the pool with Brent this weekend for the first time of the
summer.  This year was quite different from the previous two
as Sawyer is much more cautious than he has been the two
years before. We've enrolled him in swim classes but they
don't start until next week.

This week our little man officially started Preschool - and on
his first day of preschool he climbed out of his crib for the first
time. We can't believe it's taken him this long to do so - we've
known he could for about 2 years now - but we were happy
for the extra sleep.

At school, it's actually "summer camp" right now for all the
classes, but Sawyer and his pal Peyton moved up together.  
Both are really loving it. During "summer camp" at school the
kids get to do all sorts of fun things, like dress up for certain
themed-days like "Wacky, Sports, Rock Star," etc., they get to
make snack and they get to have Splash Day. Splash Day is
where they dress in their bathing suits and
water-appropriate-shoes going to school and then in the
morning they get to run through a sprinkler on their first
recess. Friday was the first Splash Day of the summer and
when Kate brought the camera in to get some photos all the
little boys wanted to be in the picture - what luck!

But the day wore Sawyer out as he had to come home early
with a temperature - but we've discovered a new service
covered by our insurance where they make "house calls!"  It's
fantastic!

but SUPPOSED to splash! This is great!

It's nice to take advantage of the pool and the
backyard now that summer is upon us.

We've noticed he always sits at the head of the table -
regardless of the class.
Still Loving The Slides!
We're grateful for the park behind our house
AND the trees that shade it!
On Friday Sawyer Was Sent Home With a Fever
Feeling lousy, he wanted to sleep in "Daddy's bed" and
have his cars with him.
