Ready for School

Wesley is SOOOO ready to start 3's preschool next fall.  We got an opportunity to "try out" a preschool that we were looking at.  Wes got to go and participate in the class for day while Ben and I got to sit off to the side watching.  He absolutely loved it and fit right in like a big boy.  When we got home and we asked him what he did at school he said, "made friends."  It is so hard to explain to him that he has to wait to go to school until next fall.

On this particular day he wanted to take this dry erase board out and mess around on it.  We've never worked with him on letters and numbers before so I was so surprised to walk over several minutes later and see his work.  I was surprised how well he duplicated the letters and numbers.  He just eats up any kind of learning opportunity these days.

You Are My Sunshine

 

Peek-A-Boo

Playground

These days Wesley wants to go to the playground every chance he gets.  While driving he points out each and every playground we pass.  Luckily we have quite a few by our house, but that doesn't stop him from trying to get us to go down to the playground at the beach.  Hopefully this weather will warm up so that we can head down there soon.  I think it will be a popular spot for us this summer.

A-ee Loves Me

Addie loves to be outside playing, especially when Wes is out playing too.  Actually, this girl wants to be anywhere her brother is.  The other day our nanny told me how they were both sitting on their little couch together and Wesley goes, "A-ee, go get the Batman book" and she jumps up and searched through the books to retrieve the Batman book and sat back down next to him.  Even when he is in a time out I have the hardest time keeping her away.  She wants to sit right next to him until he is done.  They are even good sitting there too!  When I pick Addie up to take her away Wesley says, "A-ee loves me" and tries to hang on to her by hugging her.  You are right buddy, Addie loves you bunches.  :)

Fresh Concrete

We had a freshly poured slab of concrete, which means Wes and Addie got to add some permanent hand prints to our home.  This was Wesley's second set of concrete hands, because if you remember he got a chance about two years ago.

God Bless

So the other night we were saying his prayer before bed and at the end we always go, "God bless Mommy, Daddy, Wesley & Addie."  However, Wes has been wanting to add on all of the people he knows so he breaks into saying all of his grandpas, grandmas, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends... then when he ran out of people without skipping a beat he added on Mickey, Minnie, and Darth Vader.  From here on, I'm stopping him after he lists all of our family and friends.  He's not going to pull that bedtime delay tactic on me again.  :)

Hudson vs. Hudson

We had great game of soccer going on in the backyard.  It ended like most of our activities do... with a major beat-up session.  I played it safe and hung out on the sidelines with the camera this time.  Wesley has really packed on the pounds lately and tends to hurt me.  Mommy doesn't like the beat-up sessions as much anymore.  Ouch!  :)
