One week down....

Something posessed me last week and I decided it was time to make Evan go cold turkey with the binky. To say that it's been a rough week would be a major understatement. Every naptime and bedtime has been a huge fight with screaming and kicking. Also, he has woken up screaming every night in the middle of the night, sometimes 2 or 3 times and doesn't go back to sleep for a while. Nothing will comfort him so I'm not sure what to do.

Feeding the ducks at Hart Park

This was a fun Friday event organized by the preschool, so a few of the other kids and parents were there as well. Evan and Andrew thought the ducks were pretty interesting, and I tried not to cringe too much as they wandered around in large quantities of bird droppings! There were quite a lot of birds and they were pretty bold.

Evan starts preschool

This is a red-letter day! Two days a week, Evan will be in pre-school for 3 hours. I have to work at the pre-school once every other week so that means I have about 6 days a month where I'm down to one child for a couple hours! Doesn't it sound like heaven? Think of all the possibilities! Evan is enjoying school so far; they do lots of painting and he has started to make friends and interact a lot more socially, which is really neat to see. He's getting more independent too, although we still haven't gotten far with potty training!

This is after Evan's first day of school. You can tell they do a lot of painting - and he loves it!
