Back to School

Still a teacher at heart, I really do love this time of year. It feels like fresh beginnings and empty notebooks waiting to be written in. So while I'm not teaching school this year, there's certainly a lot of learning going on at our house and it's too cute not to share.

This one looks the most like 'school.' I decided at 18 months, perhaps the little student was ready for coloring. He was so cute trying to figure it out... and then decided eating the crayon was more fun so we didn't do it real long :).
Oh, and I'm training him to help Mommy later. Doesn't he look like a pro? He loves to watch me sweep while he plays with the dustpan and get's really excited when I'm done and it's his turn.
And then there's the "Daddy's Little Helper" training too. This is more fun for me as it involves taking a break on the couch while David is held in rapt attention and Lucas is making progress on our kitchen remodel.
And we've also taken the next step in potty training - underwear! - but I didn't think it was quite decent to post any pictures on that one ;)
