This shouldn’t be a sad thing…

 

This really shouldn’t be a sad thing, but in a way it is.  Cole has become so obsessed with playing Uno with dad before going to bed that he has decided the fastest way to play is to completely take care of taking his vitamins, brushing his teeth, and taking a bath completely on his own!  He’s 4!  This isn’t supposed to happen yet…right?

However, when we stopped and thought about it, can this be such a bad thing?  It’s always been such a pain to drag Cole and Alex up to their bath and get them both ready (usually with a whole lot of messing around and delay in the process).  So perhaps there’s a silver lining in the fact that Cole’s decided he can do this all on his own.  Yes, we knew eventually he would do this, but I guess it just makes you realize how fast they grow up and how it seems it’s all happening too quickly.

 

The end of year program at preschool

Very cute end of year program.  Thank goodness we remembered to take Cole potty this time before starting and ensuring we didn’t repeat the holiday ‘near’ accident.

Cole’s Gymnastics Program

Cole did an awesome job at his Gymnastics program on Friday 6/14.  Here’s the video that captures each of his routines.

Steph and Alex

Too funny not to share.  Alex can’t get enough of bouncing.  As long as Mommy can put up with it.

The Christmas Program

AlexCole had his first preschool Christmas program.  All in all, it went fairly well.  However, we realized there are a few things to check and double check.  Apparently a boy about to go on stage has a bit of apprehension and possibly loses control of his bathroom urges or ability to voice an upcoming need.

So we get there and have a good time leading up to the program.  Cole and Alex were playing with all sorts of friends on the stage and Dad and Papa figuring out just the right camera angles and lighting.  Mom and Grandma talking and enjoying the evening.  The only one small issue we overlooked was hearing Steph yell over the stairs before we left ‘make sure and take Cole potty’…

Nobody heard her.

So Cole goes up at the appropriate time on stage and almost immediately is clearly and painfully uncomfortable.  Poor guy – all we can do is think why didn’t we take him potty???  However, he somehow put up with it until the end of song number 2 when Mom went up and pulled him out of line and took him to the bathroom.
