Ahh...finally relief from 90-100 degree temperatures and the pure joy of many days in the mid-70's, sunny, with a breeze...perfect! September has been relatively uneventful in our lives - Kyle's busy with more field artillery officer training and I'm back taking two grad school classes so many nights are spent with both of us doing homework. Aren't we exciting? Greyson is now attending pre-preschool, as I call it, at a local church two days a week. It's a mom's day out program on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:30-3pm. He's in a class with 4 other 1 and half year old boys and they play outside, do art projects, play musical instruments, eat lunch, nap, and play some more. He's loving it and is really thriving off the additional socializing and experience of being in the care of someone other than Mom or Dad. He still gets a bit upset when I drop him off, but I wait around the corner and he seems to shake it off in a minute or two. I'm utilizing the time he's at school to devote to grad school. Two classes means A LOT of reading and lots of paper writing. It's a challenge and keeps me on my toes.
We were lucky enough to have Aunt Lisa, my sister, come visit earlier this month. We enjoyed some sister time of going out to eat and cooking up a tasty meal at home, and she had lots of fun running around with Greyson. He can't quite say Lisa, but managed to start calling her "Lala"....so Aunt Lala it is. It was wonderful to have her come all the way to our neck of the woods in Oklahoma and we hope to see her again soon when she's not jet setting around the world for work.
The biggest developmental change for Greyson is his language development. He's much better at repeating words we say to him and he's now using words regularly to communicate his basic needs. Due to the new addition of language in his life I added a new part to the blog on the right hand side to keep a list of the words he's using. You can catch him using some of the those words (hello, cheese, chair, no) in the video clips below.
Well, I'll keep it short this month and let the videos do the talking. Don't forget to also check out the September pictures linked on the left. You can get a sneak peek of Greyson trying on his Halloween costume - hint hint he's red and furry and totally cute!
Lots of Love,
Kyle, Lindsey, and Greyson
P.S. Tomorrow Kyle and I celebrate our 4th wedding anniversary - for many of you who were at our wedding can you believe it was 4 years ago? Time flies!
P.P.S. Have a few videos for you this week - all so good they just had to be shared.
