First times

** I have neglected posting anything for almost 3months! Yikes! But I guess I do have a good excuse. Here is a post I didn't get posted, because I could not figure out the videos! But, now with a clearer mind (not being pregnant!) and an ability to read directions, I figured it out! So here is the post I was planning on posting before Ella was born! Instead it is posted a month after she was born!

ORIGINAL POST:
Garett just went to his first day of preschool (or p-skool as Garett calls it!). He didn't want us to leave, there were a couple tears (mostly from him and a couple from me). When I picked him up he had been worried I wasn't going to come back, so there were more tears, but overall the teacher said he did good. Hard to believe he is in preschool and almost THREE! Really, where does the time go? I am excited to Garett to have this new experience and to see how he grows. Hans summed it up as we were walking out of the school, "our little boy is growing up." He is right...he is.

Garett has done a lot of firsts this summer, not only school. Here they are...

Along with getting a new bike he has learned how to pedal. He is not the best at it on the big bike, he prefers his trike. But he has the pedaling down on his trike. He absolutely loves to play outside and ride his "krike."

Garett also went to his first movie this summer. We saw Toy Story 3. Well actually, we saw 30 minutes of previews and15 minutes of the movie at that point we heard, "go bye-bye." So...approximately $35 and 45 minuted later, we left the movie theater and really watched previews. Oh well better luck next time. I suppose it was a good thing to try, it was raining outside

Bowling went much better. He loved it...the first game that it. The second game there was some loss of interest, but I guess what do you expect. Garett even got a strike! And as you may note in one of the pictures, Garett's score wasn't too far from Hans' score!! It was fun to see him bowl and I am pretty sure garett had fun too. That is until we had to leave and he had to give back the bowling shoes. Garett is a sucker for good shoes, and he was mad he had to leave those cool bowling shoes behind

There's the strike!

Over 4th of July, Garett went to his first parade...you can see the excitement in his face.

Although that did not go over well, getting to have ice cream at 10am was great. So I suppose he would say the parade was great. He also got to try out some sparklers for the first time. Unfortunately he did not get to enjoy the fireworks...it rained. And the following night when they re-did the fireworks, staying up till 10:30 was not in the cards for the Iverson house. Next year hopefully he can see fireworks again.

Other than that, there has been a lot of playing catch, swimming, talking a lot and taking it easy. Well, I have done a lot of the taking it easy, not garett.

And soon one of Garett's biggest firsts in life will arrive... his first sister.
