September 2011

September has been a super busy month! The boys started school (Colin too!) and mom has been busy getting involved in lots of activities. With the weather cooling off a bit, we have been spending lots of time outside, at the park and have taken several trips to the zoo. The boys are starting to play together more and pretty much keeping each other (and mom and dad) busy. Enjoy this month's pictures!

Daniel Being a “Ghost”
Daniel really enjoys being a ghost right now and uses blankets and all kinds of things to be a ghost. This day he was using his little pillow case. I was trying to get the boys into the car to go somewhere and Daniel insisted on wearing it into the car. I was thinking “Great! I have a small children with a bag on his head in my car!”

Colin Climbing Down From the Fort
Colin has been able to climb up the fort, but not down. It was a little nerve-wracking when he would start climbing up there and we always had to climb up and help him down. I worked with him to learn how to climb down and he learned it so quickly. Makes me feel a little better when he starts climbing up there!

Colin Sleeping in his Chair
He played and played and played while he should have been napping. Finally he fell asleep - in his chair. Poor baby!

This baby loves to lay down on the hard floor – or anywhere his blankie is!

Colin on the Big Boy Swing
Colin really wanted to ride on the big boy swing instead of the baby swing. He was really good and sitting there and hanging on and even tried to swing himself a little bit. He loves it!

Pure Joy!

Colin’s Injury
Colin was crying and I asked Daniel what happened to him. Daniel said "I hit him." I asked Daniel what he hit him with and he said "A train." He hit him with a metal Thomas train and this is the resultant injury. Looks worse than it was, but it was first blood between them.

First Day of School

Today was the first day of Mother's Day Outfor the boys this fall and Colin's first day in general! Daniel is now going three days a week, instead of two days a week, and Colin goes two days a week. Colin was so cute - on the way in he wore his little Elmo backpack and carried his Cars lunchbag. It used to be Daniel's, but Colin loved it so much that Daniel got a new Thomas the Tank Engine one and Colin got the Cars one! They both went in really well and Daniel was "so excited" to go into his new room.
