1. Off to school - we go to preschool at Evergreen Christian School. Mrs. Reich is our teacher.
2. We are POTTY TRAINED - both day and night, no diapers in our house anymore! So proud!
3. A few firsts: trip to wild waves, pony rides, swim lessons... we love everything we experience.
4. We got a dog! Piper, which turns out to be Daddy and Gavin's dog - Gavin has taken most of the responsibility of feeding and letting her outside to go potty, he is such a big help!
5. Suprise - we are going to have a new baby brother, boys are loving being 'big brother' helpers and the baby isn't even here yet. They talk about what they are going to do when the baby gets here, and how they can help and are even trying to name him (maxwell and parker are among their favorites). Gavin often asks when and HOW the baby will get here and what the doctor does to help him get out.
6. Gavin has his second surgery - ear tubes come out for everyone but Lucas doesn't need surgery for this.
7. Lucas develops asthma and gets an inhaler. The doctor thinks it's mostly 'exercise induced' and he will out grow it.
8. Lots of learning about our emotions, and tantrums followed by timeouts. at the end of the year we seem to be much more in control of our explosive tempers. I think the 1/2 year milestone is a time of struggle in our house, at age 3 and now 4 we are much more mellow!
9. Gavin and Lucas learn how to spell their names, and mommy's phone number. They are also excellent navigators and will tell me, to go home turn left and next right. Or Gigi & Papa live "that way".
10. Lucas and Gavin get their first 'best friend' who they talk about ALL the time. He is in preschool with us, and his name is Alex. Often I'll hear, "oh I think that is Alex right there", or "look mom there is Alex's car" - it never is but it is fun to hear you talk about your friend.
