The first day of school was only an hour, so we went the first hour and then spent the other hour playing on the playground. This is Andy and his new friend, Will. They are such little buddies and look forward to seeing each other at school.

Andy's First Day of Preschool
I can't believe it, but Andy started preschool. The best part: he loves it! He is in a preschool that is in connection with Bellevue Community College. One of the main reasons I choose this school was the parent involvement. Each parent picks a job and then volunteers one to two times a month in the classroom. This way I can see how Andy interacts with his classmates, teacher and other parents who work in the class.

One Busy Month
We have had so many activities going on in September, I just haven't had time to update. While the rest of the Seattle area had their second day of school (minus Bellevue with their strike), we headed to the Seattle Children's Museum for a day out. One of the things the kids can explore is a mountain with various animal homes, camping gear and a fun mountain slide. My boys love to slide.
A week later, Mike took the day off work and we headed to Puyallup to the fair. It's the largest fair in Western Washington, so we took in the various barns of animals, had our scones and other yummy fair food and generally wore ourselves out walking. The boys are checking out the brand new baby chicks and their momma.
Andy did get to ride a couple of kiddie rides. One was the train that goes around the kiddie area and the other ride was the airplane.
Then a week and a half later, we went to see Veggie Tales Live. It's basically rather large vegetables waddling around singing the various songs from a few of the Veggie Tales videos. Andy and Aaron thought it was a lot of fun. We even ran into our cousins.

Socks Versus Sandals
From time Andy was 6 weeks old, sitting in the Honolulu airport, I have been teaching my son one of life's faux pas: Do Not Wear Socks and Sandals!
Tonight, he put that little bit of info into practice. Mike and I had dinner over at his parents house and yes, my father-in-law was wearing socks with his sandals. We were sitting in the living room having a nice time together as a family and I was giving my father-in-law a bad time about his choice of foot wear. Andy picked up on what I was saying and informed his grandpa that you don't wear socks with sandals. Andy then decided he needed to rectify the situation and proceeded to unvelcro the right sandal, remove grandpa's sock and put the sandal back on his foot. He then put the left foot on the ottoman, remove the sandal, tug at the offending left sock and assemble the sandal the way mom taught him. All the while mom, dad, and grandma are laughing so hard, tears are rolling down.
Andy finished off the activity by reminding grandpa that you don't wear socks with sandals, now it's time for ice cream.
