The Seminaras: New School Year & Brady Starts Preschool (End of Summer)

It's been a great first summer here in the northeast. The boys have had quite the opportunity to see family and friends and spend lots of time exploring our new area. It's been fun to watch another summer pass and see the boys bond for one another grow. Even though it's been uncharacteristically warm for this area (upper 80s...if we were still in Texas people would think it was a cold front), the trees seem to know fall is coming and the first touches of orange, yellow, and red have reached the tips of the leaves.

Marking the official end of summer is the boys transitions to their next classrooms - Brady to preschool and Parker to the toddler room. For Brady this has been the easiest drop off yet, he is meeting new friends and enjoying new toys so never has a hard time letting go of Mom's hand. Parker has some of his old classmates and some from his buddy room so about the only new for him are his teachers. He does cry for Mom at drop off but they gave us a poem, tissue, and chocolate to make it all better.

Brady is doing all kinds of big kid things in his new classroom - learning to recognize his name, learning how to meet people and introduce himself by shaking hands, and new books new games and new toys all focused on learning through play. We are so proud of him!
