Where did the time go - Zander is 2!

What has Zander been up to now that he is a toddler?

*He loves trucks, cars and sports. 100% boy.
*He is getting more verbal and getting better at telling us what he wants as well as putting two or three words together.
*He went to his first fair last weekend - Fort Fest (my hometown) and he loved riding on the kiddie rides. The carousel, cars and the cho-cho train. We didn't buy many tickets in case he didn't like it and of course he proved us wrong. He was not happy when we had to tell him we were out of tickets.
*He has moved up at school to the Elephant room, they take potty training seriously.
*He went on his first field trip last week to the new dream park in Cottage Grove. He rode on the Kids Safari bus (his daycare bus). A few weeks ago they had transportation week at school and they went outside to see the bus and Zander cried when they got close to the bus. All the teachers were prepared for him to have a melt down, but he proved us wrong by walking right up into the bus like he knew what to do! He sat with his friend Preston. I have attached a few pictures from the field trip.

Some family news - Zander is going to be a big brother. I am 12 weeks, due January 16^th. I am feeling the same as I did with Zander – sick and can only eat a few things. We tried to have date night last night which ended early due to me being sick. I am looking forward to the sickness going away. Looking back, I can’t believe I went to school three nights a week while being sick. What was I thinking?!

Best of buddies - Zander with his friend Preston. They are the early morning crew at school, they both arrive around 7 and are quite excited when they see each other.

Just a swinging.

Zander started a gang called the Cribs, as you can tell they are pretty tough.
