every night.

someone has to go.

on scooter, foot or bike.

searching for nicklaus.

to come home for dinner.

sam was solo tonight.

found him on his first try.

herded pickle out like a pro.

he must have been hungry.

 

he found them on the counter on our way out the door.

they slid down to his face when he started reading.

there they sat.

while he read.

at 5 o'clock.

on a rainy day.

waiting for charlie in drama kids.

oblivious to me snapping pictures...

and sam relentlessly calling him dude nicklaus.

 

no more sleeps to school!

is how he woke up today.

mommy, we haf to get my boys to school so i can go to yittle disciples.

he talked to aunt annie and gandmagandpa on the way to school sharing his excitement.

sam, look at all of the shiny red tricycles!

ohhh, it's just like christmas!

he was so excited walking up the path...

he squeaked and brought his hands to his mouth.

walked in by himself.

greeted mrs. christian.

gave me a kiss.

joined his class on the floor.

he is ready this time.

i can't wait to see what this year brings.

how many sleeps til school again?

 

the biggest spoon he can find.

loaded with as many pops as can fit.

milk dripping from the end of the spoon.

hand ready to assist by pushing the food in.

he might actually dislocate his jaw to get his mouth open wide enough to accommodate the spoon...

breakfast is served.

charlie has drama kids on wednesday and there is a great park in the same complex.

let the littles play, got some great shots.

threw some rocks in a pond, got some great shots.

went to wash up in the bathroom and discovered the hand air drier, got some great shots.

this is the shot that i love.
