My little baton twirler!

This year we put Lily in a baton class instead of tap/ballet/jazz. She seems to really like it - except for the occasional bump on the head. I am a proud mama since I was a majorette too! I hope she stays with it. She's in a class with a few of her former dance mates and her teacher, Miss Shannon, is awesome! Here are a few photos and videos from the last 2 weeks.

Dillon's First Day of Preschool

On Sept. 4, Dillon had his first day of preschool! I took him that day to help make the transition easier. Here are some photos and videos from his first class.

His tote bag.

Hanging up his tote by his name

First they had free play time. Dillon loved playing with the train table. He has one in the basement that he never plays with but he would've played with this one all day if I would've let him!

Dillon's turn to find the animal on the page during circle time.

Dillon putting his ingredients in the snack bowl and helping to mix it.

Lining up to go to the bathroom. I think he was acting shy and that's why his head was down.

Snack time!

Dillon was a good boy in the hallway during the bathroom break so he got a special sticker :)

Hugging his teacher, Miss Kurtz, good-bye.

Jet Skiing on Lake Erie

On Saturday, we headed up to Headlands Beach State Park for the day to go swimming and jet skiing. We had a blast. The weather was perfect and the water felt so good.

 The kids had fun collecting rocks and playing in the big sandbox!

 All ready to go out on the boat!
