Parker playing hopscotch

Can you believe how good Parker is at hopscotch even though he just learned how to do it 1 minute before this video was taken?

1st day at the new school

Parker started at his new school this morning. He gets to bring a lunch like a big boy. You can see him showing off his Spider-Man lunch tote below. He was a little apprehensive at first, but he warned up to the class quickly!

Parker is a photographer too!

Parker got a Playskool camera for Christmas and we had a lot of fun with it on Christmas Day.  Check out some of the pictures he took with it.

Ok, I took the last one.  :) It has some neat special effects you can apply to the image as you take it.  It is really cool!

A good visit with Santa

Parker had a good visit with Santa this past weekend.  He climb up in the sleigh all by himself and he sat nicely by Santa and smiled really big.  Then Santa asked Parker what he wanted for Christmas.  The only thing Parker managed to tell him is that he wanted "a swirly lollipop".  Santa was quite surprised that was all he wanted.  After hearing from hundreds of kids earlier in the day who probably wanted all kinds of expensive toys, Parker just wanted a lollipop.  Don't get me wrong, Parker wants a bunch of toys too.  It is just funny that his one chance to tell Santa what he wanted and he choose the lollipop. :)

Craft fun!

Parker and I worked on crafts for a good portion of the day today. We built some Legos and three vehicles: a bus, an ice cream truck, and a race car. We had a lot of fun!

Spooky ghost

We'll, here is the result of our efforts. Not too bad, huh?

Carving a jack-o-lantern

This afternoon, Parker and dada carved their first jack-o-lantern together. Check out the before and after. Parker was a big help with the stencil.
