No Longer a Toddler

Megan transitions from her Toddler room to her new Twos room this week. Megan will miss her teachers Ms. Katrina and Ms. Grace. Megan loved to sit on Ms. Katrina's lap during story time and always started looking for her once we got to school. I'm sure there will be lots of visits to see Ms. Katrina!

Apple Picking

We decided to get in the spirit of fall before the weather turned really cold and headed out to go apple picking. We met Heather and Alicia and the Bormets there. Unfortunately, there were no apples left at kid level, but we did manage to fill our bags using the apple picker ... and we got a couple of apples while lifting up the kids. We probably could have filled our bags a little faster if everyone wouldn't have kept sampling the apples. :)

Lucas's 4-Year Pics

Such a handsome little man!

Moving on to Pre-K

Two weeks ago, Lucas moved up to Pre-K! This is Lucas with his preschool teachers, Ms. Tiffany and Ms. Eula. Lucas loved being in their class for the last year and learned so many things ... among them are the planets, carnivores vs. herbivores, and gardening.

Happy 4th Birthday Lucas!

Our Super Dude turns 4 today! We celebrated yesterday lots of friends ... and Grandma and Grandpa Suttmann even made the trip to celebrate with us!


We celebrated some more today with more presents from Mommy and Daddy ... and, of course, some more cake.

Little Chefs

Our little chefs were busy at work today. And thanks to their aprons from Tomi, they stayed neat (and cute) doing it!

Some random pictures from hanging out at the Bormet house ...

Abby's Birthday at the Zoo

We headed to the zoo today to have some fun for Abby's birthday. Abby and Megan's friends Morgan and Kate also joined the group. I think the favorite part was watching the dolphin show ... especially when the dolphins were "dancing" to some music, Lucas and Megan danced right along with them.

Our Big Girl is Growing Up Fast

Yesterday started with Lucas and Megan's swimming classes. While getting the kids dressed after class, Mommy realized she forgot Megan's diaper. We had a spare swim diaper, but those are pretty useless, especially since Megan usually fills her diaper during the drive home. Well, it was bound to happen at some point ... so it was time to test Megan's potty training skills. Since Megan hasn't liked the little (kiddie) potty and goes right for the real thing, Mommy was hoping the first time going in a public restroom would go well. Megan actually managed to go on the big potty and then wore the swim diaper home ... and it was dry! She even went potty (on the big potty) again when we got home!

Yesterday was also the first day Megan slept in her new big girl bed. We couldn't get it made fast enough for her ... she kept trying to put her blanket (which happens to be attached to her tag) into the bed to mark it as hers. After lunch, she got right into her new bed and went right to sleep! She took a little longer to convince to stay in bed that night, but did eventually go to sleep and stayed in bed all night (without falling out). Nap and bedtime both went great today!
