Bryson's Early Birthday Present

Due to the pending arrival of another little man, we decided to have the big man's birthday party a month early. The morning of his 'friend' party we also gave him his "big" birthday present from us and Grammie and Poppie. He didn't quite get that it was HIS to keep until Nate explained it to him!
He and his friends had a blast playing with it the morning of his party. We were worried about rain later in the day so we wanted to make sure everyone got to play just in case we decided to take it down!

Another hurdle...

What started out as us thinking Bryson may have a lazy eye, turned into the news that Bryson will be getting glasses. In the last three months his eyes have gotten worse and he is now dealing with two stigmatisms. He's not thrilled about the idea, but at least he looks cute!

New do...

We've decided to just let Bryce's hair grow. It's all curls and can look pretty interesting on a humid day, but this morning we came up with a new look. I think it makes him look like a little boy again!

NO FLOATIES!

Here's our no fear little boy swimming for the first time without his floaties on! I think I can confidently say he may be swimming within the month! Hooray!

New School

We were lucky enough to find a preschool program for Bryson to attend this summer! I had to get special permission for him to be accepted as he is 'technically' too young but they took him and he is LOVING it. It's through the park district. There are 15 students in his class and we were lucky enough to get to go with our neighbor Aanya! Here's Bryce on his first day!

Bryson and the Ladies!

What can I say! He's a ladies man!

Our little fish!

Bryson is SO pumped to swim. And we're so lucky to have such a nice neighbor, Ang, who let's us use her pool all the time! Here's Bryce going for it!

Memorial Day in Michigan

Bryson pretty much lived in his pool the whole time we were in Michigan. He loved running as fast as he could and diving in head first.

He also played his own version of football with his daddy. I think he's been hanging out with the dogs too much!

If anyone got too close Bryson made sure they enjoyed the water as much as he did!

He also entertained us all with his 'Boom-Boom-Pow' dance. Check out Grammie and Poppie in the background.

We of course had do go for a ride despite the fact that neither of us should be on the jet ski... oh well, we had fun!

I was trying to figure out where the 'dare-devil' in Bryce came from, and then I was reminded!

Jumping off the back of the boat already!

Sandbox Picnic

Bryson's last day of school was the traditional Sandbox Picnic, which really isn't a picnic at all, but was fun none-the-less. Bryce had a good time running around and playing with the boys from his class.

Sandbox 'Graduation'

Bryson had a special graduation ceremony at school today. (Despite the fact that they will go to school until the end of May.) They sang some songs for the parents, got a certificate and had some cookies and juice.
Brady was the singer of the group (far right), while Bryson was really into the motions.
He sure loves his teacher Miss Jenn.... or he's trying to butter her up since he hasn't exactly been good lately!
Here he is with his diploma! He's sooo proud, and quite the ham, can you tell?
