Late again – this has been a very busy time for our family. We went to North Carolina again this month plus my parents came to visit and school is ending. So busy.
Seth is mostly the same. Very whiney, but growing up. He seems to be getting nervous about moving and all the stuff that’s going on in our house and I also don’t think he gets quite as much sleep as he needs. So, that makes things kind of difficult for him.
Preschool ended. Seth really enjoyed it, but I think is glad to be done and at home. Of course, this will be a busy summer. We went to Magic House to celebrate the end of preschool, but only saw a couple of his classmates there. I think it was still pretty special for him. He also was able to celebrate his birthday with his preschool class. At first, I think this caused him some confusion about whether he was 3 or 4, but I think it’s mostly clear at this point.
We went to North Carolina house hunting. It was exhausting for all of us, but I think Seth enjoyed that he was able to go. I think it was actually really good for him because he was able to see Greenville and North Carolina and help pick out our new home and also meet his Primary class and see the local school, park, library, grocery store, etc. He is worried about making friends (of course), but I think he can at least relate to the city. By the end of the trip, he was identifying himself as a Pirate fan (the Pirates are ECU’s mascot) as well as a Cardinals’ fan, so I take that as a good sign. Flying was pretty exciting for him as it’s been almost a year since we flown. Mostly a test drive for our trip to Japan this week.
My parents visited for the month and he enjoyed spending time with his grandparents. He even got some one-on-one time, which he really enjoyed. He was a little teary some days because he is pretty sensitive lately, but overall, he had a lot of fun.
Seth is doing really really well with reading and is starting to read little stories, a few sentences long. He wants to do lessons every day, several times a day and I am really proud at how diligent he is and how well he is progressing.
Seth is really really into Super Heros lately. We have convinced him that if he eats foods that are the color of super heros he will be like them, and so he will eat red and yellow food to be like Flash, green food to be like Green Lantern, etc. It has expanded his food intake a little bit, but he is still a small guy.
Fun Things This Month:
- Salem Celebration Day – we went to the Methodist Church where Seth goes to church and he sang his song for us. So cute – he went to the bible school there while we listened to the sermon and even got angel wings. It was exciting.
- Transportation Day at the Heights. Everyone was a little grumpy, but Seth enjoyed seeing all the trucks and getting plastic hats to wear.
- Mom’s Day – at preschool. I got a special present for Seth and got to have a little breakfast with him and watched him sing a song with us. It was really cute and I enjoyed the one-on-one time with him.
- Singing in church for Mother’s Day. So sweet.
- Birthday celebration at preschool. We made cupcakes with sprinkles, even with Spiderman wrappers. He got to wear a birthday crown and it was a special day.
- Trip to North Carolina. The highlight for the boys (besides getting a new house!) was getting to go to Chick-fil-a for lunch pretty much every day and play in the play land there.
- Last Day of preschool – Seth brought home all kinds of art work and a special book with pictures from all his days of preschool. We have been collecting all his preschool things in a notebook and he loves to look through it all the time.
- Salem night at Magic House – Seth had lots of fun, but we didn’t see his teachers or many of his classmates. Because he had been begging us for a month or two to go to the McDonald’s by the Magic House, so we went there first and the boys had SO much fun. They don’t like the food that much – but they LOVE to play there. Almost as much fun as the Magic House.
- Grandparents – besides the usual of playing, wrestling, and talking with them (and playing lots and lots of Uno and Blink card games), Seth enjoyed:
- Transportation Museum – loved going on the tram. He sat up front and said All Aboard the first time, but it really scared him. He enjoyed the trolley a lot, too.
- Grant’s Farm – loved the tram and the bird show.
- new scooter – an early birthday present and enjoyed it at the park
- walking to the park and to downtown Clayton to eat
- playing at the hotel with them
- ward picnic
