Playing in a Basket

The other night I was in the kitchen cleaning up before dinner and Ian and Borne were playing together.  I could hear them but my back was turned to them.  When I turned around this is what I saw.

Ian thought it would be fun if they both got into the laundry basket so he lifted Borne in and then climbed in himself.  But by the time I got the camera out Borne was not happy (can you tell he's screaming!) and Ian was worried he was going to get in trouble since Borne was crying.

It was a pretty funny scene and I have a feeling as Borne gets older much of this stuff will be more voluntary!

Head First

Borne took a dive - head first - into our paper recycling bin last night.  Chris was quick with the camera to catch it right after.  This monkey is all over the place and into everything.

End of First Day

Chris and I both picked up Ian after his first day of school.  As he walked down the ramp towards us he looked exhausted.  He was so tired.  It was a big day.  So Chris carried him part of the way home!

He was still all smiles though!

First Day of School

Here are pictures from Ian's first day of preschool last year compared to his first day of Kindergarten this year.  He's grown so much - it's crazy.  Everyday he turns into a little man.

I think these last two are funny because this is Ian being Ian.

So far Ian is really liking Kindergarten.  He never really has much to say - we normally have to dig information out of him but I think that's a good thing.  School is just another part of his day that he enjoys.

The first day was a little emotional for me but I made it without tears.  Ian is such an independent kid and was so excited it makes it easier for me to drop him off everyday.  On the way to school that first day Ian was all smiles and said "This is so exciting!"  It was a very exciting day.  For the next 13 years we are on a school schedule and we'll see how Ian grows into a young man!

Special Lunch!

Last week Ian and I had to go to the dentist so afterwards I said I'd take him anywhere for lunch since he was going to start school and we would not be able to do a special lunch like this for a while.  He of course wanted to go to McDonal's.  So we had a fun little lunch together.
