Back to School!!!

School started yesterday, I can't believe the summer flew by so fast!

Carson started 1st Grade! Such a big kid.  He said he was a little nervous, but once we got to school he was great. He came home after school so excited to get to have an agenda!  Such a big kid.  I still can't believe I have a first grader!!

Poor Cole was devestated all morning.  Anything Carson and Brynnli did to get ready for school he did.  He got dressed and insisted on matching his brother.  He ate the same thing for breakfast, and even brushed his teeth with Carson.  When it came time to leave he ran and found his backpack and said, "me!me!"

 Brynnli started pre-Kindergarten, which is free the year before Kinergarten in Florida.  She was sooooo excited to start school.  Not scared one bit, and when we dropped her off she never looked back.  I caved in and let Cole come with me to take her to school, he insisted on bringing his backpack and when Brynnli's new teacher showed her the hook to hang her backpack up, he followed along and hung his up too.  When I picked Brynnli up from school she looked a little upset, so I asked her what was wrong and she said, "I never got to go on the bus!" They go on a field trip once a  month on the bus, and I guess she thought they went everyday.  She's too funny.

Cole was so devestated I let him do whatever he wanted (within reason) during Brielle's nap with me.  We played in the hose and jumped on our trampoline.  Love this kid.  He's so fun.  But he really missed his brother and sister!!!

Cole's 2nd Birthday

Our little Cole turned two yesterday.  He's the best.  We spent the whole day laughing.  He's so hilarious.  Rick brought home a chocolate birthday donut for Cole.  He loved it.  He's obsessed with lawnmowers. So I bought him a toy weed whacker online.  We opened it and he loved it.  Until an hour later when it died.  Cole was devestated, so we drove over to Toys R Us and found another one.  We went to Chic-fil-A for lunch and spent the rest of the day having fun.  We played, swam, Cole helped daddy mow the lawn, and had cake.

 Cole stats: 27 Lbs, 36 in

                      Favorite food: Pizza, cheese, peaches

Favorite toy: lawnmowers

Cole is so happy.  He loves sleeping and asks to go to bed when he's tired. So different from the other kids. He loves playing with the other two kids.  He loves holding Brielle.  He is tough, and sweet at the same time.  He loves to swim, and is really good at it with his floaties on.  He also really loves to dance. 

Words: He says lots of words, especially, "mamower", and loves his "night night" (paci) at bedtime.  He also LOVES his grandpas and his daddy. 

When we kept telling Cole it was his birthday today, he kept blowing like he was blowing out his candles.  He was too cute singing happy "day" "day" to himself too.  He is really such a joy.  Love that kid.
