My Top 5 (out of 100)

It’s my 100th post! I re-read my entire blog to see what all I had to say over the past few months. Here are my top 5 favorite posts thus far:

• Ten Things I Learned From Our First Outing – Boy, how things have changed!?!? While there is still prep time involved in going anywhere, it is much easier these days.
• A Language Lesson – this still makes me laugh!
• Boys Will Be Boys – a sign of things to come.
• A Smile For Friday – Awe. Melts my heart.
• Our 1st Family Photo Shoot – Well, what can I say? A happy and beautiful family.

Good night, Larsson!


..... five minutes later.

Wait a minute... who turned on the lights?

Happy Birthday, MawMaw!

Tater’s Report Card

Athletics: A+
Probably Tater's favorite... Per his teacher, Larsson is always running and getting into everything. He makes a bee line toward the nursery door and will be halfway down the hall if the door is not closed right away. They are moving him in with the bigger babies (1 year olds) in the mornings and late afternoons to give him more room to crawl and play.

Lunch: A+
He loves cereal and always finishes his food. What a good little eater!

Music: A
Larsson and his classmates enjoy listening to music in the afternoons.

Math: A -
Larsson likes to subtract all the toys from the cubbies and then crawl inside. His addition skills are focused on how big of a pile of toys are on the floor, and of course, he doesn’t put them back where they belong.

English: A
The teachers read books to the class during the week. Larsson especially loves playing with the cloth books, although at this stage, I think he spends more time putting them in his mouth than in front of his face.

Teacher Comments: Larsson is very busy. He is talkative and playful, and a joy to have in class. He is a cutie and we love his beautiful eyes.

Mommy's Comments: No surprises here! Larsson is one awesome little boy. Take good care of my baby!
