Liberty’s trying to roll over back to stomach. She’s been working on sitting too! (working on more pics, can’t leave her alone too long! 🙂

It’s DAD! For Dad’s birthday we got him an hour private flight lesson! He was hesitant to go at first, but had the BEST time! He even flew over the house! Canton was super excited to see dad in the air and wants to go next time!

It is finally hitting us that Canton is becoming full blown KID, not mommy’s little boy. Heading off to preschool this week really put that into perspective. We figured it was time for some more socialization with real school being just a few months away. He goes 2 days a week but has already asked if he can go three days instead of two! This is happening WAY too fast for Mom! But, his school is wonderful! With the director and the undergraduate students the ratio is 5 teachers to 7 kids, so he pretty much has undivided attention! The school doesn’t have a set curriculum, but instead is driven by the interests of the children, so I’m sure a space unit won’t be too far away!

On his first day Canton’s school was visited by a real fire truck and he got to pull the lever to spray the hose! He enjoyed some tire swing time and rode bikes with a boy named Will. Most telling, at the sensory table there were all kinds of tree nuts, Canton preceeded to tell everyone “we’re going to make some patterns, you find the big ones, I’ll get the small ones, and then we’ll go big small big small all in a line, that’s a pattern.” He then told the teacher, “see, we made objects in the Kuiper Belt!” Oh man, it’ll be interesting to see what happens next year in K.

We got some great videos of Liberty laughing today, she loves to dance!

Canton decorated his own pumpkin! Not too shabby!

Liberty has been blowing spit bubbles for a while, now she’s almost razzing, or giving Becky kisses as Canton says!

Liberty loves working out in her “gym”. She pulls all her hanging animals, likes looking at herself, and squeals with delight whenever big brother joins her.

Nanny and Rhonda came up for a visit on Thursday night and left early this morning. We had a great time visiting, playing, and everything in between.

Canton camped out with Nanny in the downstairs bedroom and loved talking to her through the night. Liberty is so excited about all her new clothes and knows Aunt Rhonda will keep her looking beautiful for years to come! Liberty gave lots of sweet laughs for Nanny, though not as many as she made Nanny and Rhonda laugh with all her expressions.

Pap came down with his friend Janice and got a lesson on gravity from Canton. He also showed the cool tricks he learned from Nanny on his NEW BIG WHEEL! Canton also told Nanny she could play the piano, he’d play the drums, and “Rhonda can just…walk around” in their band.

Canton woke up and said “Is it past 4?” and burst into tears because he knew they left. He loves his Nanny SOOOOOOOOO much and can’t wait to see her again! We appreciate them coming so far to see us and are so lucky to have so much love in our family! 🙂

We knew Rhonda was coming to visit us this weekend, but Canton was sooooooo excited Nanny came too! With presents of glow sticks, clothes, and monster trucks!
