Swensen Sentral

Haven't posted pics yet of Amelie's horseback riding lesson. She loved it so much. And I admit I did a little bit too, ok maybe a lot bit  . Wish they weren't so darn expensive! Her trainer said she picked up posting faster than anyone she's taught. Baskin Farms  with Finny the Pony

The creativity of children amazes me. Sawyer came upstairs to find me and said "mom you GOTTA come see the snake family I made". So I came to see his playdough creation. He explained it's a family of 10 kids, but the white one is adopted. And they have no parents because the dad died in the snake war and the mom died from surgery. Intense story for a little playdough snake family. Live on little snakes!

He was very happy this morning. He reminded me before I got out of bed that today was his first day of preschool, he got dressed all by himself without me asking, and wore his new Batman backpack around all morning. He told me last night that he was a little nervous because he wouldn't know what to do there. I gave him one rule to follow for the day to ensure a happy first day of school, smile. Simple as that!  I said "If you smile your teacher will love you and the other kids will want to be your friend." So that was his goal for today, just smile! He was so cute.
