First Couple of Days at Home

Life is already starting to take on some normalcy.  The kids play together and hang with dad and even go off into their own rooms to do things.  Emmy and Sarah were working on homework and Ian was busy doing one of his favorite things, cutting and taping!  I think I better buy some stock in SCOTCH!!  LOL    Here are just a few more candid shots of 1st couple of days at home...

 

This was the welcome we came home to along with flowers and dinner in the fridge ready for heating!

 

This was Ian's "test drive" the first night in his big boy bed.  He didn't actually sleep in it until the 2nd night.

 

After several humungous meltdowns, Ian finally became brave enough to get to know Gracie our beagle dog. 

 

 

This was a HUGE breakthrough!

 

After touching her, he says "Gou Pew!!!"  He's right... even a couple days after a fresh bath, our sweet beagle dog smells.  (fyi...  Gou = Dog)

 

Our sweet friends Maddy, Paige and Jane came to visit with a lovely and yummy chocolate chip cookie cake!  Ian put on a show!!  He just LOVES all the attention these girls want to give him!

 

Love hearing Ian yelling for Baba!!  He couldn't wait to finish his breakfast and get outside with him!

 

Fun stuff!!

 

 

Ian LOVES to color and cut and tape!

 

He is very happy to do his own independent activities when one of us is not available to play with him.  Earlier (no photo) he got the beads out and started beading a bracelet all by himself. 

 

Lunch boxes packed for our first day back and Ian's first day of Kindergarten at SRCS!

 

Ian's first string cheese!!  Emmy gave him a lesson on how to eat it.  He loved it!

 

We also introduced him to baby carrots dipped in ranch dip.  He wasn't sure at first, but he caught on.  I didn't think he was liking it and I took his out of his lunch box and he came rushing over to me to put it back into his lunch box for tomorrow.  Guess we will see if he eats them or not.
