Preschool and life

Last Tuesday was Jaden's first day of preschool. I was a little nervous as the day approached but kept reminding myself of all the positives that go along with him attending. The main benefit and reason we enrolled him at 2 years old is for him to socialize with other children his own age. To learn those important social lessons; like sharing :).

Jaden has enjoyed preschool so far and had no problem staying by himself the first day. They say he is very easy going and seems to be getting along with everyone. Let's hope that continues!

Some cute things from preschool last week: on Thursday I asked Jaden what he had for snack and he responded "gold fish crackers," I was surprised he actually answered the question. And we often hear him singing songs that he has learned.

Plus when I pick him up he gives me a big hug, such a sweetie :)

In other life news I started back to work today. Last night I was a little emotional having to leave Caleb and Jaden but as the morning approached all went well. Jacob seemed to handle both boys just fine and Caleb drank his bottle with no problem. Luckily my schedule is part time so I can come home and spend the afternoon with my family (or morning if I work in the afternoon).

Caleb - 1 month old

Caleb is 1 month old today!!


Here is some general information about what he is up to at 1 month old:

- still sleeps a lot
- up about 2 times a night
- just as easy going as his brother
- sleeping in his own room
- loves to be held (no complaining here!)
- trying to figure out being awake and happy during the day
- great eater


I go back to work on Monday so Jacob will be on his own with both boys for about 4 hours each day. We have tried a bottle with Caleb once and it went well so we should be good to go with him eating while I am at work.

Our life is crazy at times but it has been a fun ride and I laugh daily because of it :)

Awhile ago Jaden started creating an art piece for his new room, with the help of Aunt Ashley. Here is the progression:

The final product (with a little help from mom):
