Dress-Up Days at Preschool

Arrrghhhh, mateys! Today Charlie was a pirate for school.  It's his first time participating in his preschool's annual Pirate Week and he's having a swashbuckling good time!  It's also the first time in more than 5 weeks that I've downloaded my camera card, so brace yourself for a bit of blog catch up.

A few week earlier we had pajama day...

I had my favorite pair of PJs all picked out for C, but he had his heart set on a extra warm, fleecy pair that he outgrew last year.  I let him choose!

I do adore age 4. It isn't always easy.   But MOST of the time it is just plain fun. I love so much about this little guy and our time together.  He is so quick to giggle and make others giggle too.  I love that he gives all his friends nicknames, Cooper becomes "Coop", Hal becomes "Hal Pal", even his bear, Kipper, is usually "Kips."  I love that he tells me things like, "my heart was broken and you fixed it, see, feel it, you made it all better."  I love his up-for-anything attitude, and, on occasion. I do have to laugh at his little indignant march/stomp/skip that makes an appearance when he is upset about not getting his way. 

Ok, next up a post on Valentine's Day. How timely!  Working backward. :)
