Yesterday Seth started preschool. I didn't cry, but Sam said I was a little crazy. Not only did I insist on "one last peek" through the window on the way to the car, but I disrupted the going home routine by peaking my head in the room to wave at Seth. Let the embarrassment begin! Despite my craziness, Seth had a great time. When he sang "God loves me" in the car on the way to Mc Donalds it was all worth it!
In case you don't know, Daniel has a clever nick name: Danzilla. He didn't come by this name on accident. He is fast and he is strong! He can destroy the best built train track town in an instant. He can make it up to the top of the stairs in the blink of an eye. Of particular interest to him is the toilet. Anything and Everything (including himself) will end up in it if you turn your head for a second. The only time he stops moving is to cry when his brother even thinks about hurting him (yes, he can manipulate already!), to give his mommy sweet hugs, and to peacefully sleep. I guess all this comes as know surprise....he was kicking with force even prebirth! Thank God for my smiley, happy, strong baby!
Today was a beautiful day! The mosquitos even went into hiding for awhile so we could play on the kid's new play structure. The day we brought Seth home from the hospital was a very hot day and our air conditioner wasn't working! I worried so much that my new born was overheating and spitting up too much, that we ended up in the emergency room! I guess all my worrying has rubbed off on Seth because now he doesn't want to go outside for fear that the mosquitos will "eat him to pieces"! He's also afraid to wash his hands because he has a band aid on his finger that might fall off! Despite all of our worrying, Seth has had quite a year! He finally grew some very nice blond hair, learned to sleep all through the night on his own, and is almost potty trained! Some of my favorite moments were: listening to Seth sing Oh Holly Night all the way through with Grammy, taking him to Disney World for the first time with Grandma, watching him take his first swim and preschool classes, and best of all, seeing the smile on his face when he saw his baby brother for the very first time! Over all, I'll wrap his third birthday up with three words that describe him: 1. Imaginative...he can play and talk to himself for hours! 2. Silly...he loves to laugh and make other people laugh with him! 3. Amazing...I adore everything about him...even his new three year old attitude!
Here they are, my boys, Daniel and Seth. Soon, Seth will be 3 and Daniel will be 1. It's practically a miracle that we have this picture of them actually sitting. Both of them are constantly on the move! They keep me busy, and though I might complain at times, I wouldn't want it any other way. If I can keep up with them, and have energy at the end of the day, I promise to report on their progress! Good luck to me!
