The Peanut Gallery

We visited at preschool today called The Peanut Gallery, and it seemed like just the right fit for Stanley. While we were there, they read books, sang songs, ate snack, made sculptures and paintings, and played outside. Stanley is looking forward to starting there in the fall!

JJ Jump

Stanley went to his friend, Owen's second birthday party at JJ Jump. JJ Jump is a big building filled with inflatable jumping structures. It was so fun! Stanley climbed, and went on lots of slides, and of course, did lots of jumping!

Easter Egg Hunt

Stanley participated in an Easter egg hunt today at a local park. It was so fun to watch him jump right in and run around gathering eggs. He filled his whole bag, and even put a few in his pockets!

Play date with Ella and Sam

Stanley and I went to Ella and Sam's house for a super-fun play date!

Dentist

Stanley went to the dentist about six months ago, and it didn't go well. He wouldn't even open his mouth. We tried again, and we went to a pediatric dentist. It was great! They let him play with all the tools and eventually, he was getting a full teeth-cleaning!

Busy Town: Stanley's First Play

Stanley and his friend, Jace, went to see their first play together: Busy Town! It was full of singing, dancing, and fun costumes. Stanley loved seeing his favorite characters like Lowly Worm and Sergeant Murphy on the stage!

Visit to Indiana: Part IV

While we were in Indiana, we drove to Ft. Wayne to visit with the Indiana Wootens. We stayed at Stanley's Uncle Mike & Aunt Stephenie's house. He had so much fun playing in their yard! They have a pond with fish and 3 cute little dogs. When he saw their little pug for the first time, he said, "Look! It's a pig!" While in Ft. Wayne he also got to visit with his cousin Elizabeth and Uncle John.
