Big Boy School!

Yesterday Alex went to Waverly Elementary school to check out his new teachers and class and friends! He was very shy at first and hung out with Mommy for the first 10 minutes but then finally warmed up and explored the class room and checked out all of their very cool toys. Then we joined the group and did a freeze dance. After that Alex told Mommy he had to go potty and he did on the toilet!! Then it was time to go out side and play on the equipment, Alex still hung out with Mommy for the most part but went up and down the equipment a couple of times. After that we went back inside for snack time, Yum Goldfish and Water!! Alex's favorite part was he found a damp sponge and cleaned all the counters and tables. It was finally time to go leave and Mommy and Alex went back to the day care to drop him off so he could spend the rest of the day with Nate. Some time next week he is going to ride the BUS to school!!! Oh and Monkey got to come along to school today as well :)

Alex's IEP Meeting!

So today Mommy and Daddy went to Waverly Woods ES to meet with some new teachers and Ms. Laura. Alex qualified for some sort of program called IEP. He is going to be getting 7 hours a week of physical/occupational/speech/educational therapy. Which is way to much to be done at the day care. SO..... Alex gets to go to Elementary school... 4 days a week for 3 hours a day!!!! Tomorrow morning Mommy will be bringing him for about an hour to meet all the teachers and new friends, and once the bus knows he is going to be needing a ride (sometime next week) Alex gets to take the bus to school!! Ms. Laura said she will be there his first day to ride the bus with him and get him settled into his new class room. Everyone is very excited! Lots of pictures will be posted hopefully!!!!

Wish Alex luck... he is going to a BIG BOY school!!!!

Happy Fall!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was so nice outside when we got home from school that we played outside with Jacob and Sofie for a little bit!!

We know... we need to update. We promise soon. Nothing exciting going on here. Grandma and Pap came to visit us for the long weekend and this past weekend we hung out at Nana and Grandads. We got our Halloween costumes and are so excited about them. Nate is going to be Plex and Alex is going to be Brobee (both from Yo Gabba Gabba).. pictures to be posted soon.

More later. We promise!!

Dinner and Art!

So Tuesday we got a super treat/surprise. Mommy came to pick us up from school and guess who was with her? NANA!!!!! We were actually stunned and in shock when she came in. We gave her a quick tour of the school and then went home to find someone sitting on our couch... who could it have been??? GRANDAD!! We were so excited! We changed our diapers and went potty on the toilet and then went out to dinner. We had so much fun!

Do I look cool or what?

Tonight, when Mommy came home and was giving Alex big hugs Nate was drawing on his doodle pad and then brought it over to show Mommy. She was completely blown away, he did it 100% by himself!!

Watch out Picasso

And of course Alex wanted a picture of himself as well

That's it for now! We need to go to sleep. Good night!!!

Weekend Update

We had such a busy weekend. First off Mommy came back from her week training for her new job in New Jersey, so Saturday morning we got to give her lots of hugs, however she had a hair appointment so after breakfast she went to get her hair cut, while she was gone Daddy attempted to cut our hair. Alex gave in and let Daddy have a go at it (it wasn't terrible), Nate however didn't want to have anything to do with Daddy and the razor. So Mommy got home and she packed us in her car and off we went to Nana's house, we got to hang out there while Mommy went to Aunt Coco's house for her birthday party, they did a scavenger hunt (check out Kerri's blog so she can fill you in on that). Then Sunday morning Mommy, who's birthday it happened to be... HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOMMY!!!!, took us, and Nana, and Grandad and Aunt Coco and Kerri to this huge park to celebrate her birthday, and we had so much fun, here are a few pictures Mommy took, again check out Kerri's blog for more -

After our naps we had some cake (yum) and Aunt Coco and Kerri went home and Grandad and Mommy took us in the pool... more pictures and videos!!

We want a pony!

So yesterday we drove down to Nana and Grandad's house and met up with them really fast before we headed to the Reston Zoo where we met up with Aunt Coco, Uncle Todd and Kerri! We saw monkeys, goats, ostriches, antelopes, birds, tortoises, sheep, a llama, a pony (which we got to ride!!!!) an alligator, and so many cool things. Then we went back to Nana and Grandad's house, ate lunch and passed out (as did Nana and Grandad!), then we woke up, had a snack and then we left for home and guess who was home when we got there.. DADDY!!!! We showed Daddy our pictures and videos then went outside to play! What a fun day!! Enjoy the pictures and videos!!
