1st Grade

It is hard to believe that DJ is already a 1st grader. The Kindergarten year flew by and as of August 3rd, DJ is officially a 1st grade and going to school all day!

We worried about how he would do going to school all day since Kinder was only 3 hours, but he seemed to adjust fine.

He was VERY excited about going to school and even woke up extra early that day.

Here is our big 1st grader making silly faces for the camera.

DJ is not big on eating breakfast so I was surprised when he asked for some to start his day. His breakfast of choice? Bagel Bites!!

Last year for his 1st day of school, I baked him a cake. This year, I didn’t have as much time so instead he got a Spongebob surprise….

Our Little Artist

Both our boys love to draw. Lately, though, Cody has been quite the artist. I have a pink laptop with black pens marks to prove it. =)

Every time he is in my craft room, he signs and yells “paper” and signs for crayons. The funny thing is that he is picky about the color, too. It has to be either purple, red, orange or black. He isn’t too keen on greens and blues for some reason.

Here is the little artist at work…

He’s probably thinking about what his next masterpiece should be. Although, that smile is usually reserved for mischief. =)

Do you see how his lips are sticking out in the next picture? He seems to have a “thinking” face and sound. He does it quite often and it is cute.

There is no real purpose for this next image other than the fact that I love his Barni Rubble feet.

 

He loves to try to trace his hand.

The proud artist…

and his masterpiece…
