C's been gone just a few hours but I already miss him. I think Snowflake is going to miss him too. ;) The house seems so quiet. But I know he's having a great time at school. He went to bed fairly early (around 9ish) last night which is excellent considering he's been completely spoiled with his summer schedule. This morning C was so excited about starting school he woke up early and was ready to start his day. He ate his favorite breakfast and even had a little time to squeeze in an episode of "Little Einsteins". He amazes me how he can identify some of the classical music and tell me what movie they're played them in.
Before heading to school we took several photos to remember the day.
Yesterday we tried our best to make some crepe flowers similar to the ones we saw at the beach. They're lots of fun to make and you can get super creative. As you can see we made quite a few.
When
I dropped him off at school he looked so big. He's no longer part of
the youngest class at school. My baby boy is growing up. sigh. As I
watched him walk into his school I got a bit teary eyed. I'm going to
miss my little summer partner. I love who C is becoming. He's such a
sweet, caring, gentle little soul. I'm happy to be his Mai.
We've shared the sweetest summer. Six weeks in the US visiting family & friends, playdates at Parc P, beach getways on the Belgian coast, and hanging out at home playing and doing crafts. Fun stuff. Here are some snapshots of summer 2009.
Who can forget my handsome little man in his tux. ;)
Chilling out by the pool.
Our collection of birdhouses we all painted while in FL. What fun we had decorating!
Only the second time C has ever been to a 4th of July celebration. This is his first time holding a sparkler. He's never been crazy about seeing fireworks because of how loud everything is.
Looking for tadpoles.
Fun with Mema
C's great grandparents enjoying every minute with Lil' C
Having fun at the Central Park Petting Zoo.
Running around in Central Park with N.
C during the intermission of "The Little Mermaid" on Broadway. C absolutely LOVED the play!
The Flea Market in Hell's Kitchen, NYC where C bought an angel pin. I'm convinced his cuteness brought down the seller's price.
Fun at the New York Botanical Gardens with C's cousin S.
The Chefs at cooking delicious meals with local produce from the New York Botanical Gardens.
Party Central at E's house.
Summer days at Parc Paradisio
