A Shower and First Day of School

This past Friday night my work had a baby shower for John and I.  I told them numerous times to please not throw us one or make it really easy if they did, but of course they did what they wanted!   It was very nice and everyone had a great time.  They had Swankey's catered in and got us a double stroller (a sit and stand), a new carseat, and diapers! Wayyyyy too much! We could've used Mason's carseat but it was on the flimsy side. But now that we have a new one, we will use that!

Baby Max chillin on the ground.

We both HATE opening gifts in front of people. :)

I couldn't ask for a better place to work and with the best people.  I love them all and am soooooo happy to finally be at the right place!

My mom and I also got Brody's room ready.  Just a few more touches and I will post some pictures. But if something were to happen...he now has a place to sleep.   Just 7 weeks and 2 days until my due date!

Onto a different and very important subject... Mason started preschool this week!   He will start full time in August at Christ the King but we wanted to wean him in this summer.  They started summer camps that are very fun and also have a Splash Day on Tuesdays where they have little pools, slides, and fun water things everywhere.  Yesterday was his first day.  He seems pretty excited about it that morning.

Here he is with his bathing suit on ready to go!

Turns out he was pretty scared.  He cried when John and I left.  It was so sad but I knew of course he would be fine.  He didn't sleep at nap time (he told me he was very quiet though!) and didn't eat well. So to say he was cranky when we got home is an understatement! I think he will soon realize he will have to eat whatever they give him for lunch or he will not get anything.  I also think it will help with some pickiness though and for that I am very excited!

This morning was MUCH better! He told me he was not scared of his new school and was ready to play.  He walked right in, sat with the other kids with all the toys, and told me bye.   I couldn't be happier it only took one day!!!  I'm so excited to see the difference with him in a structured daycare. Not that we don't just love Mrs. Pat, but I think it is just time.

Also, if you noticed in the above picture, we FINALLY got our haircut! It was way too long. We got it cut before the first day of school. :)

He likes getting his hair cut now. Look at him cheesiness it up.

And after with his sucker. Looks like a big boy!

And last thing, Daddy brought home some cupcakes before the first day of school. You can tell in the picture, John earned some brownie points with Mason.
