one of my children ends up with a pair of Elmo shoes. Max's smile, laugh, and dance when he put on these shoes made it easy to overlook their striking resemblance to clown shoes. Thanks, Grandma, for knowing what's really "cool!"
Mason in his Elmo shoes that my Mom bought him for his 2nd birthday.We've really been enjoying having the ocean nearby and have tried to take advantage of it as much as possible. Both boys love going to the beach and would run into the water with wild abandon if we would let them.
I got the camera out to take a picture of the boys the other day, and as soon as I pointed it at Max he threw his head back, crinkled his nose, and said, "Cheeeese!" The way it sounded was so funny. Unfortunately, he's not quite as eager to perform his new trick as he was in the beginning. I think I've made one too many requests. Notice the bump in the middle of his forehead when he does it--kind of funny.
Waking Mason up with a kiss.
Today was Mason's last day of school, and his last day to be in the 3-year old class. He has loved his new school and has had such a fun year. The teacher made a class book that she sent home with each of the kids today, and it had a profile of each child in it. Mason loved reading the book with me and seeing what each of his friends wrote. When I came to his page, I couldn't help but laugh. First of all, for his self-portrait he drew a spider (with 6 legs). He said it was him in a spider costume. The rest of his answers were as follows:
Favorite things I learned this year..."When you cross your legs you think faster. I learned to write my name too."
My favorite color..."Blue"
My favorite book..."ABC Superhero"
My favorite toy..."My water guns so I can have fights with my dad."
When I grow up I want to be..."A diver because I like to swim. I would see scary fish and shoot them. I'd make friends with the good fish."
