So Big!

My little boy hit a milestone last Sunday. It was great for both of us. Coop was finally able to go to nursery!! Hurray! He loved it. Brad peeked in and said that they were all doing heads, shoulders, knees and toes, but that Coop just wanted to climb on the chairs the whole time. Well, hopefully he'll learn! They said that he did great. I just can't believe he's old enough to go. Crazy!



We bought Coop one of those little portable sand boxes a while ago. He loves playing in it. The other day he was playing and Brad and I were out watching him. He picked up his sand bucket, filled it with sand, opened his mouth wide and took a drink...of sand. His whole mouth was chuck full of sand. It was the funniest thing. He didn't even seem to mind too much. He spit a bit out and probably swallowed the rest. I have no idea why but he seems to like to eat sand. That's the only problem with the sandbox.
He is quite the entertainer. This age is so much fun!

Xander has the same cravings for sand and dirt. This is going to sound so mean, but it cured his cravings. I layed him down on the grass, turned the hose on, and blasted out his mouth. He hasn't eaten any dirt or sand since that abusive moment!

Such funny pictures. Emma loves to eat sand and dirt too. Her favorite thing when we are outside is to just chew on a big rock covered in dirt. Yummy!

Maybe having Coop in nursery will help Carter. No, probably not, I really doubt ANYTHING will help my clingy little boy. Oh well! Glad Cooper is going to like it! Carter loves the sand too. He could play in it all day, just give him a bucket and shovel and he is set!

Hi Ash - those pics are so funny and cute! I'm so jealous that you've reached the nursery stage! Brandon teaches, and I'm a counselor in Primary - so having Clara is kind of rough some days:) I got a Nikon D80 - what kind is yours? I just took a class the other night that helped lots -

Nursery...such a great blessing...especially when your child enters willingly! Congrats!

That's awesome that Cooper went to nursery...and by himself the first time!!! That is a HUGE accomplishment. It usually takes my kids a few months before I can leave them alone. That is a LOT of sand!!! I laughed so hard at those pictures, they're great!

I didn't realize what a blondie he is, very cute. I remember eating sand too, it leaves a gritty texture in your mouth for hours! It's great you got pictures of it all.

That sand still gets me!! So funny! I think next week we need to get the kids together and play in the sprinklers and blow up my kiddie pool. What day would work for you?
