The Monkey and the Preschooler

Well, the three weeks of preschool summer camp were a big succeess. Mason loved every minute of it (after the jitters on that first morning!) and told me all about his adventures each day. I know he'll love going there for preschool in August. I can't believe he's getting so big!

Maddie has been a little snotty lately. That very last tooth has poked through and she is sneezy with green goo - both make for a pretty crabby little girl. That, however, has not stopped her from developing her inner monkey. As we were all waking up this morning (you know, cartoons and caffiene) I was just coming back into the living room from getting Mason dressed and Brian asked where Maddie was. I told him I wasn't sure because she was in the living room when I had left. We went off on the hunt. Brian found her on our bed and asked if I had put her up there. "uh, no." Great, she has not only mastered the barstools, but now the "big bed" as the kids call it. Just for a little perspective, I had to give Mason a half hour tutorial on how to get up there himself when he was two-and-a-half!! Curious as to just how she managed it, I stood in the bedroom with her - cell phone video camera at the ready. Below is what unfolded....

Here are a few recent pics....enjoy!
