Soccer sensation???

We decided to put R in soccer! They have a 3-4 yr old league at the Y, and even though he didn't make the cutoff of being 3 by Sept. 1st, they let him play anyway. He LOVES playing soccer at home, and the boy can kick a ball like you wouldn't believe! We weren't sure how it would go playing with other kids though, and actually following rules. He had his first game last Saturday, and R was out of town and had to miss it. Little R did great...at first...then ended up in tears and sitting in Mommy's lap! This week Mommy is going to try to watch from afar without little R knowing where I am...R seems to think he will play much better that way! I have been banned from attending practice, and R says he does great without me there! He definitely is a "Mama's Boy"!!!

Our first "art class" at home!

One of the things T is really missing about school is Art class. So, we headed to Hobby Lobby and I told the girls they could get an art project...whatever they wanted. They both chose wooden boxes to paint. (Both girls have "special boxes" where they keep little trinkets that are very important to them, but they are overflowing!) They worked on these for two afternoons...art class around here has to be done while little R is napping! Even though they were both very critical of their own work, I think they look great! They both got an A+ on the project!! : )

Happy Birthday Little R!!!!

It's so hard to believe it has been 3 years since our little R was born! It has been 3 years of all new experiences, and most of them have been enjoyable! We love you buddy, and we can't wait to see what your future holds! You are a blessing to our family, and we love you more than you could ever know!

R LOVES Trucks!!!

R got this dump truck from his grandparents for Christmas last year, and he loves it! He loves loading it up (with anything) and then hauling and dumping whatever he has it loaded up with. He loves to push it around the island in the kitchen REALLY FAST...it makes lots of noise on the tile floors! He also loves for A to push him around in it REALLY FAST through the living room and crash him into the front door! But this night, he decided to pull it up to the TV and take a break in it...he sat here for quite some time watching TV.
