Demon birthday(s)

Mason turned 2 on July 7th. He had three parties - one on his birthday with a small group of friends, one the day after with a different group of friends, and one the weekend after with family. He got lots of new toys and some new clothes and of course had cake at each party. While he was excited about all of his presents, the ones he showed most enthusiasm about were those related to Thomas the Tank Engine (a couple of books, coloring book, pajamas, two tracks with trains). He is obsessed with Thomas. We're not sure how this happened but are actually ok with it, since his train sets and books keep him occupied for hours.

First day of preschool

Mason started preschool the first week of July. He goes two days per week from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and is in a class of 10 (all are 2 - 3-year-olds). So far it's going great. The only strange thing that we've seen is that he won't eat at school. We're not sure why but are assuming that he'll work through it eventually. In just two months we've noticed a big improvement in his vocabulary. He's learned some yoga and new songs and talks about his new friends. We're wondering if being cute is a prerequisite for being accepted at this school, because all the kids there are adorable.
