We've had a great summer and are a little sad to see it end. From the boys' birthday party, to vacation at the Cape, to swimming at the local lake and pool, to watching adorable Julian grow, to visiting Edaville (Thomas the Train land)!
The boys started preschool last week at the daycare they've been at, and were very excited to move to their new classroom. They keep informing us that they're "big kids" and not babies. They love all their teachers and friends.
It's also so exciting to see them learn new information and exponentially expand their vocabulary. They can now recognize most letters of the alphabet, they ask how things work, and they try to problem solve and do things on their own more and more. They also can also make inferences and apply knowledge that they learned from one situation to a different one. They can get their own clothes off as well as put their own shoes on. They are doing pretend play more as well (they love administering first aid to their stuffed animals!).
Below are some of our favorite pictures from the last month. We've had a busy summer!
