The Parr Family: Start of summer

Brayden's last day of Mother's Morning Out (or school as he calls it) was last week. Connor and I went in for a small end of the year celebration, where Connor was a big hit with all the little children. They surrounded him for the first few minutes we were there, and Brayden was definitely a proud big brother showing him off! Brayden will continue going to MMO summercamp a few days each week during the summer, but his regular teachers are taking the summer off. He'll definitely miss them! Next year he is off to "big boy" preschool!!

Connor loved the attention

Brayden recently participated in Smithfield's Kinder T-Ball for 3 & 4 year olds and loved it! They had 4 practices / games where they learned about throwing, catching and hitting the ball. The last two nights were "games" which were pretty chaotic and definitely entertaining! So cute to watch at this age!

We took Brayden to see Seasme Street Live - Elmo's Superheros last weekend in Raleigh. He is all about superheros lately, so I thought this would be right up his alley and something special to do with mommy & daddy for some individual attention that he doesn't get as much these days. He really enjoyed the show, but I think his favorite thing was the kid sized urinal in the bathrooms....he asked to go 3 times during the 1 1/2 hour show!!

Not too much new to report on Connor....he is still just my sweet baby boy. He is getting sooooo close to laughing, which I can't wait to hear. I love baby laughs! He still loves to play on his playmat most of all, and can now reach up and grab some of the toys that hang from the top. I can really tell he is concentrating & studying everything he sees now. He has found his hands...it is pretty common to see him sucking on his fingers and/or thumbs if the paci is not nearby. I hope that is just a temporary thing!
