Week of 8.22.10

This week marked the end of summer for me as I had to go back to school :-( I am happy to be back but could really do without the +70 miles of driving every day -- that could be some QT with my Bug! He was going to school full time since the beginning of August, so the transition was super easy for James (and whenever Jim asks him "James, you want to go to school" he very excitedly says "JoJo, JoJo, JoJo" -- which is also becoming what he calls everything that's not Dada or Gigi, for example :: all animals but a dog or giraffe are now "JoJos" because she teaches him about them).
Above :: a new favorite past time -- taking all the towels and oven mitts out of the bottom drawer -- at least he usually helps put some of them away when he is done :-)
Below :: helping Mommy mix up some pancake batter -- YUMMY!


Other things this week ::

• He knows a lion says "rooooaaar"
• Tooth #8 popped through on Monday -- of course, waking him up in the middle of the night when Mommy had to be up for the first time at 5am, poor Bug
• He keeps asking his teachers for the "row row" to be down in the classroom -- he loves to rock in the wooden boat
• James has been very much the Love Bug lately -- getting hugs and kisses from his girlfriends at school before he leaves (practically making out with P -- so funny, but I had to play Mom and break it up)
• He also knows a monkey says "ahh ahh" but can't make the "ooh ooh" part to go with it
