Kindergartener!

Logan was definitely ready to start Kindergarten! After a whole year of watching Nathan and Evan get dropped off at school first as part of the morning routine, Logan couldn't wait to join the "big leagues"!

There was only a couple of minutes of hesitation when we were getting ready to say goodbye on the first day of school. But as soon as Logan saw a familiar face (fellow student of Montecito that happened to be in the same Kinder class), Logan said a quick "Bye mom" and was off!

Hamster joke

The boys have been coming up with their own jokes about Hammy.

Nathan first started with:

 - What is Hammy's favorite tool?

 - A hammer.

Logan then quickly replied with:

 - What is Hammy's favorite food?

 - A hamburger!

We all had a good laugh. Not bad for an almost-5-year-old!

Preschool Graduation

It feels like just yesterday when Loggie attended his first day at Montecito one year ago. He has now officially graduated from preschool!

Logan has been looking forward to this day for a while. The pond room teachers and students prepared for many weeks and transformed the play yard into a "safari", with monkeys hanging off trees, alligators (made out of egg cartons) in a pond, and jeeps made from big card board boxes. There was a music performance and teachers led the children to sing several songs, magic show, and of course dessert potluck at the end.

When asked what he misses most about Montecito. Logan said: "The parties!"

Hospital Visit

A particular sweet moment when the boys and I picked up James from hospital. Logan's fascination with raising and lowering the hospital bed brought a smile to James' face.

Love Letter

My first "I love you" letter from Logan, complete with hearts!

Logan often comes home from school with letters he's made. He especially enjoys putting them in envelopes (and licking the envelope to seal it).
