It’s hard to believe our little boy is already entering the world of academia. His first day of preschool went great. There were no tears when Lindsey dropped him off, and when she picked him up he said he wanted to go back. He loves his class and teachers and we already have artwork hanging on our fridge.

Avery graduated to a big boy bed at the end of August. He started climbing out of his crib and jumping up and down on the mattress like a trampoline, so we knew it was time to make the switch. It took a couple weeks to get him acclimated, but now things are going smoothly and Avery is enjoying his new space.

Having a two year old is pretty darn fun. Lindsey and I both think it’s our favorite age so far. Avery talks to us all the time, and for the most part he’s a good little boy. It’s also full of lots of new experiences for him, and it’s really neat to watch him learn all about the world around him.
When we brush his teeth at night we let Avery watch a video on YouTube. He really likes watching Bernard the polar bear, and in particular likes the baseball episode.
Anyway, the other day some friends of ours invited us to a Mariners game. It was Avery’s first experience with baseball aside from the polar bear video. Initially he had the impression he and his friend, Jackson, were going to play in the game, but soon he sorted everything out. It was fun to watch Avery take in the experience of being in a massive stadium watching little players down on the field running around.
