A Busy Week So Far

Grandma Jane has been in town this week, while my dad is doing some business traveling and we've been having lots of fun...

Monday: A fun stop at Cabelas. I'm not sure if J & G have ever seen stuffed animals before, at first they kept asking "Are they going to move?"

Followed by burning off some energy at the Maple Maze.

Monday Night: Gma took Joel to his swimming lesson. He is all smiles during his lessons, definitely the right choice to go with the non-parent child class. Joel does much better WITHOUT us in the water with him.

Tuesday: Joel's very first trip to the dentist. Good news: He did perfectly and was a model 3 year old patient, and here I was worried he wouldn't even sit in the chair. Bad News: He has 2 cavities :( ... I am quite sad about that, but what can you do. We will brush more often now, but the dentist did say that his top molars are very deep and he probably would have gotten the cavities even if we brushed 3 times a day. However, the dentist informed me that "with his easy and relaxed demeanor, fixing the cavities would be a piece of cake".... Okay, I didn't go back into the room with Joel to witness this "model" cleaning , but I am really hoping that it was my child's teeth that they were cleaning because that is officially the first time that anyone has ever used the words "easy or relaxed" and "Joel" in the same sentence.

Wednesday: Halloween Party at daycare. Grandma Jane even got to go and help Mary with the party at the end of the day.

Wednesday Evening: A visit from Great Aunt Kathy and "cousin" Drake (her grandson)
Thursday: Preschool Halloween Party

Joel's VERY loved teacher Ms. Hohol

The kids performed some songs for us at the end of the class. With so many parents, Grandmas, siblings and chaos in the room , Joel had alot of energy to contain. I noticed that he never stops moving while singing, but frankly, I was quite impressed he was able to contain his excitement enough to stay up there and perform with his classmates. Although there probably wasn't much doubt by anyone as to which little boy had the most energy in the room. That would be Joel :)
