Devin -- August 2017

Another summer has flown by and with both Devin and Kyler in full days this fall I am not sure how I am going to be spending my time, but my guess is that I will fill it with not problems. We spent the end of the summer together enjoying time at the pool, outside and just being together. Devin had summer school, which of course he LOVED and LOVES his teachers. I am so grateful for all those wonderful people who love on my kiddos while I am not with them. Here are just a few highlights from this month.

  • Whatever is offered for a snack, Devin will almost ALWAYS pick apples first
  • After almost a year in Miss M's class, it is great to hear how he is being such a good leader
  • Picking blueberries meant lots of walking and eating
  • He loves to take the yoga mat to me and have me roll him up in it
  • "Da" has become so much clearer!
  • Will sometimes wake up so upset and just cannot calm himself down. 
  • Giggles at certain phrases in books like "tip-top" in Mr Seahorse
  • He loves to wake up early and takes all the decals off the walls in his room. 
  • During church he will often open and close doors but also try to escape so the times of nursery are at an end
  • Had a great time with water day at school
  • After getting bored with taking the decals off his walls, he started to unzip his bed rail!
  • We explored Rush Creek park and he loved to walk around in the creek
  • Most kids like playdoh but Devin just likes to stack the containers
  • We visited Binder Park zoo and loved going on the train, he even pet a goat
  • Has learned to take his shirt off over and over again
  • At the pool he knows just what to do and he will often go over and get his swimmie himself!
  • He loved the Hudsonville Fair again, and this time he wanted to ride on the ferris wheel as well as giggled with his brother when doing the cars that wipe around
  • Continues to push or ride his tricycle but does not seem interested in doing the balance bike or the big wheel
  • He helped me to decorate cupcakes and later it was fun to snuggle UNDER the blankets
  • Dev loves to bring things onto the deck with him, like blankets and remotes
  • School started and I had to bring your brother to his bus stop which meant you stayed home in your room, making Duncan very upset
  • We visited your classroom and it was great to see you go and hug all your teachers right away. 
  • Your second year of school started and this year you ride the bus with Mr Greg who is such a sweet man! We just have to learn to wait for the bus now
