Star of the Week

This week, Miles was chosen to be the first "Star of the Week" at school. Since he is the first, we had to come up with what we were to do all week without much guidance. We were told to bring in pictures for the board and that we could do something special each day. Today we made the bulletin board, and Miles explained each of the pictures for his class. Also, while Mommy was still there the class carved their pumpkin. The rest of the week Miles will read his favorite book, Mooncake, bring a CD of his favorites songs to dance to (and maybe his trumpet), bring a special toy, and then snack for the Halloween party. We'll post more pics when they come!

Reading

Miles has always loved looking at books, since he was a baby. He started turning the pages at 6 months old and hasn't stopped. Lately, he has started to "read" his books. Books we read all the time or only once or twice, he looks through each page and either recites what he remembers or makes up something. This picture was taken while Mommy was busy on the computer, turned around since it was "too quiet" only to find her little angel had been reading quietly (at the time for about 25 minutes). We are so proud that Miles has a love for books and hope it continues!

Officially the end of summer...

The closing of the beach house always marks the official end of summer. It was a beautiful weekend, sunny and cool. we also celebrated Nannu's birthday!

Forgotten Pics

Going through our camera and found these pictures from Miles' first day school (Sept). He moved up to the 3's room (pre- Preschool) and we got him his own backpack and everything. He and Nadia are still in the same class, which is good, since they are attached at the hip!
