Mandee Loo: My Friend

We visited San Angelo over the weekend to see our family. I got to bring part of that family home with me! We brought my precious nephew, Michael David, who started calling me his friend today. :)

Today he went to school with me. He woke up at 7:20 am with a big smile when i peeked over his pack-n-play. We went potty, brushed teeth, combed hair and got dressed. Then it was time for milk and grapes and some Yo Gabba Gabba.

We hopped in the car at 7:40 and headed to Aunt Mushies school! We walked in and he was shy. He saw new friends eating cereal out of cool, blue bowls and had to do the same. Then he was intrigued by the cool sounds of little boys playing on the touch screen computers. Before too long, he had an audience of little boys itching their way to the front to see what Michael was playing. We then went outside for bike riding and sand castle building.

Next, we traveled inside marching like ants, one by one for Circle Time, Art, Centers and Science. Michael used shapes to make a house and loved it! Especially when he got to use the big glue bottle.

We had a taste test in Science where he got to taste different things and picked the one he liked the best. Of course, he picked the candy. You should of seen his face when he tried the mustard on a pretzel! :)

Then it was off for lunch and nap. He ate a PBJ sandwich, goldfish, grapes, mini vanilla wafers and a apple juice box. He then laid down on his cot right by me and I cuddled him to sleep. He is so sweet!

When he woke up, we went outside again where he learned to ride a scooter and loved chasing Mushie on one. Also, I discovered he an obsession with the water fountain.

This afternoon, he was my little helper and assisted me in hanging a giant paper football in the hallway. He loved pulling the big tape off the dispenser. When we were finished he watched The Mouse and the Motorcycle on the Smart board.

Last it was time for cooking class. We made pretzel sandwiches with peanut butter, crackers and pretzels. He enjoyed them! We went outside for another few minutes before heading home to see Uncle Mattie.

We went swimming with his little boat. He was splishing and splashing all over the place. So cute. He started calling me his friend. It was so funny. He must of heard me say that a lot at work today. Mattie brought us Chic-fil-a down to the pool where we ate dinner and then we head up stairs for bath time, skyping with mommy and daddy and bed time.

I love this kid!
