So Ike is officially feeling the 2nd kid letdown now. I'm combining two major events into one post even though they were almost a month apart. Sorry buddy. Mom's busy. Anyway, here are some pictures from his first day of preschool.
Look at that smile. Gosh he's adorable. And ornery, have I mentioned that lately?
He seems to like preschool okay. Unfortunately, he's seeming a little more attached to me than I thought he'd be, so dropping him off in the morning can be a struggle sometimes. I am glad to report that he's always in good spirits when I pick him up though! Not sure how much he's actually absorbing at school so far-he usually can tell me some parts of songs that he sings (never enough to figure out what on earth he's talking about) and he always reports some good info from playground time. :) He's such a little stinker, so I'm sure he really knows more about what's going on!
Ike is still into all the farm equipment, heavy machinery, etc. We make our trek down to visit with the guys at the shop still a couple times a week so he can shoot the breeze with them and sit on all the cool toys they have down there. He has really gotten into video games, even playing Minecraft and other games with Dave now. He usually puts his shoes on the right feet, but it's still not 100% at this point! Ike and Dave love to wrestle with each other (constantly) and Ike sure fights dirty. He has his trademark hairpull along with the berzerker (sp?) where he circles his arm frantically like a windmill at his opponent (Dave). It is truly a sight to behold.
He stills loves to "nuggle" and we are currently working on breaking him from sleeping with us. It's definitely hard to tell him to go back to his bed when he's so darn cute and just wants to cuddle!
We celebrated his 4th birthday last week. How is this kid 4 already??
Ike sporting his birthday button. And his favorite shirt. I have to wash that thing constantly so he can wear it over and over.
Hanging at Ike's party. Couldn't believe how nice it was out!
Big guy with his batman cake. Gotta look close to see the bat emblem!
Had to get a pic with the new birthday sign I picked up.
Just being cute.
Here's a video of Ike on his birthday.
We had a great time celebrating this cute fella. Some of our neighbors and their kids came over to eat cake and visit. He graciously accepted lots of great gifts ranging from Paw Patrol items to Batman stuff to a voice changer (he wants to be a spy) to Bob the Builder toys. He sure has a lot of different interests right now! Love this kid and am so proud to be his momma!
