The First Day of Preschool

Today was Justice's first day of preschool. He couldn't have been happier to get up and ready this morning. I couldn't be more shocked at how grown up he seemed.




He picked some roses from our yard and we made a flower bouquet for Miss Tiffany.



When we got to the classroom, Room 2, he was eager to explore...


Despite looking a little nervous, he did finally tell me it was time for me to go. As odd as that sounds, it made me happy. And at the end of the day, when Victoria and I arrived to pick him up he said, "I just love love love love love my school. And Miss Tiffany is pretty. She looks just like Avinanna." You be the judge:

Cousin Avianna:

Miss Tiffany:

Maybe...

I am really glad the first day went so well. I think this is going to be really good for him. I guess that's why it feels okay, even though it came way to soon.

The Ferris Wheel

While we were off-track, we spent an afternoon in Santa Monica. We decided to go on the Ferris Wheel, which truly is one of my LEAST favorite rides. I do not enjoy heights. The kids were very excited to go, until we actually got on. Then they looked like I did.


Once we got the hang of it though, we had a lot of fun.


On an unrelated note...my son is a goofball. Here is a recent conversation between he and I in the car on our way to get Victoria:
Justice: Mommy, do you remember when I was a fish?
Mommy: No.
Justice: Well, I was.

I love him, despite the fact that he is a total freak!

The 4th Birthday, Post II

I know Justice's birthday was in July, but I wanted to share pictures of his birthday lunch at the Rainforest Cafe. Grandma took Justice, Mommy, Victoria, and his baby cousin, Olivia. Both Olivia and Justice were intrigued by the animals and the storm.





Amber told me that watching a waitress sing to Justice at his birthday breakfast one year taught her why they do that for people...he is clearly experiencing pure joy. This year was no different. He just LOVES to hear people sing happy birthday to him.
