So many new tricks!

Bryce's second week at preschool is going great! He loves doing art projects at school and bringing them home to show us. We review his "papers" every evening before dinner. Yesterday, he brought home a new favorite. He used multiple colored markers to put dots all over the page. I raved about how great it was and asked him what it was. He replied "Ball" (bottom lefthand corner below), which I thought was very clever! Here's a sampling of this week's artwork:


We are also learning how to use utensils! Bryce can't scoop yet, but he is able to get the food into his mouth. Check him out!


Last new trick... baby slam dunk!

First Day of Preschool!

Bryce started preschool today!

Alex and I dropped him off this morning, and he didn’t seem at all concerned that we were leaving him there. He was like “Alright, bye. I’m playing with these cool new toys so see ya!” There were 2 kids that were screaming and crying, and Bryce watched them for a minute, like “Should I be scared? Do they know something I don’t know?” but they obviously didn’t deter him from finding all the new toys to play with.

Alex and Karen picked him up at 2:30. Alex said that he spied on Bryce for a few minutes, and he was playing with another little boy, so that was good. The teacher said he was really good, that he played very nicely with the other kids. The only time he got cranky was about 11:30 just before lunch. He was hungry and tired, so he got a little fussy. She did rub his back a little at nap time to get him to sleep, and he slept almost the whole 2 hours, so that was VERY good. The teacher did say that every once in a while Bryce would go to the window and say “Dada vroom vroom.” I guess he watched us drive off this morning from the window, which is kinda sad.

All in all, a very good first day! Let’s hope it continues!

Also, Bryce and I started the Little Gym last week. We do some group activities, then he gets to explore on his own. He LOVES that part - actually, he wants to do that part the entire class. The whole place is padded, so he can climb, etc. without worrying about getting hurt. At the end of class, all the kids get a stamp on their foot. Bryce wanted two:
