Ok.. so Andrew has a bit of an obsession with alphabet letters and building words out of them - I keep telling myself this is a good thing after I have spelled out my 100th word by mid afternoon, He takes his letters with him everywhere.. to the store, to bed, into the bathtub, at the table while he eats. If this keeps up I'm thinking we may need an intervention! kidding of course :)
Andrew had his first day of school today! He started a speech program at a local elementary school and will be attending two mornings a week from 8:00 - 10:30. He was such a big boy when his teacher came to get him and walk him to his classroom, no tears and no fuss. And how did I do you ask? lets just say lots of tears and lots of fuss! thankfully only after he disappeared into the school building. But I recovered after a teary phone call to my sister and another to my mom :) Andrew had a great time and is looking forward to going back, so all is well.
Here is our growing up too fast little boy on his first day of school .
And the ever important "Disney Cars themed" brand new backpack of course. This was actually the first pose he gave me, but I thought I'd like to preserve the memory of how HE looked on the first day... not just his backpack, LOL.
This is the inside of his classroom, this was taken during the school open house last week. The two boys are giving "Buzz Lightyear" a ride in the Barbie jeep! Not sure that would have been Buzz's choice of transportation, LOL.
So I went to the pet store to ask about guinea pigs and guess what happened? yep of course we ended up with a couple! Now in my defense.. this was not a pet store that usually has guinea pigs! a family had just come in the day before and left them there to be adopted (they were moving into a place that would not allow any pets). So of course Andrew and I had to call daddy and make sure we could bring them home. The best part was that this adoption required no paper work or home studies, LOL. And you have admit they are pretty cute for being oversized rodents, LOL. Andrew is having a great time helping take care of them and loves his "guin pigs". The short haired tan one is Cheeca, and the long haired one is Callie.
We enjoyed a yummy 4th of July dinner at grandma and pop pop's house, mommy was so busy devouring the bbq ribs that this is the only food related picture she got before dragging me outside for the requisite holiday pictures... hope your 4th of July was as delicious and fun filled as ours!
After dinner and some pictures we were off to see the fireworks, despite the on again off again drizzle and threat of heavier rain.
Then back to grandma and pop pop's house for some good ole sparkler fun :) Mommy bravely let me hold my own sparkler this year after numerous instructions to not hold it too close!
