First off, I want to thank Laura and Jessie for filling in for me the past couple of days while Keenan and I were in Oregon visiting our friends! I hope you enjoyed reading their wonderful guest posts!
Secondly, today was Keenan’s first day of preschool! I still can’t believe it. My baby boy is growing up too fast! He had a lot of fun and enjoyed meeting new friends and playing with all of the “fun toys” (as he said). After staying for a little while, I told him that I needed to run some errands and I would be back in a bit. He said “Okay and “bye, bye Mommy,” and he was fine. I think I was more nervous and apprehensive than he was! But, I’m glad and relieved that he had a good time and looks forward to going back!
Furthermore, I was going to do my usual What I Ate Wednesday post with all of the yummy eats we enjoyed over the long weekend, such as our traditional peach milkshakes and my friend’s delicious homemade berry pie, but I did’t bring my big camera and I forgot to take pictures with my phone, ugh!
So, I’ll just give a little recap of all the fun we had the past four days (fortunately, my friend took a lot of pictures and I was able to get copies from her!).
Keenan had a blast playing with his friend, Naomi, and her big brother, Noah! Since it was so late when we got to my friends’ house last Friday, I immediately put Keenan to bed on the floor in Naomi’s room. When he woke up in the morning (5:15 am!), he was in hog heaven with all of the toys she had to play with! His first words when he woke up were, “Mommy, she has a beautiful kitchen!” So, the two of them played in her room everyday from the moment they woke up to dinner time! It was too cute!
Naomi and Keenan also took baths together every night, giggling and taking turns “shampooing” their hair with bubbles and “rinsing!”
We also went to the park and the two of them enjoyed swinging together.
All three of them had fun on the tire swing!
On our last night there, we made peach milkshakes, a long time tradition that started with my friend’s grandfather making them for us when we were kids. Since the peaches are so juicy, we just combine the peaches with vanilla bean ice cream in the blender and they are good to do! Keenan and Naomi loved their shakes and practically drank every last drop!
Last but not least, this visit was especially special, because my friend and I are both pregnant (she is 25 weeks with her third and I’m 16 weeks with my second, of course). Our moms’ pregnancies with us overlapped (which is why we call each other fetus buddies!), and we are finally pregnant at the same time! Even though Keenan and Naomi are only a little over a year a part, it will be nice to have our next babies so close in age!
We had wonderful time and out little extended weekend was too short, as always. It would be nice to live closer to each other, but in the meantime, we will cherish our memories forever and look forward to seeing each other again, soon!
Questions:
What did you do over the long weekend?
Do you have any childhood friends that you are still good friends with today?
How long have you known your best friend?
First of all you look adorable. 🙂 Today was Sophia’s first day of preschool too and I was much more nervous then she was. She was so excited and loved every minute of it, My hardest thing is not knowing what she is doing all day without me, I missed my little helper.
Thank you! I feel like my belly looks as big as my friends’ who is 25 weeks! I missed Keenan, too. I had to go to the grocery store and run some errands this morning and it was so weird not having my little helper with me. But, I’m glad he had a lot a of fun!
Looks like you had such a great weekend! Keenan looks so cute and excited for his first day!
We had a wonderful time as we always do and Keenan was super excited to go to preschool this morning! It was pretty cute!
Looks like you all had such a great time! I love his shirt in that picture, and your bump is precious 🙂
We had a great time! Thanks, Beth!
