| Mom and Dad got out for a date to The Mint for 'Noodle Night' and then took the kids to the neighborhood block party. Lucy's favorite fire truck was there and she got 2 rides around the block. |
 |
| Lucy's first icecream cone ever! She is officially a fan. Afterwards we walked down to the River Roast concert at the Charmant and watched a little bit of Horseshoes and Handgrenades. |
 |
| We did a quick visit to the Madison zoo, saw Kerry's old college roommate Abby, went to Kerry's gradeschool friend Julie's wedding reception and then spent the night at the Hopp's house. The kids had fun playing together, especially with the stickers. |
 |
| Isaac's whole family gathered for the weekend. Charlie scored lot of Auntie Amanda time :) |
 |
| Charlie like to suck on his lip at times if he doesn't have his nuk, teething toy or hand in his mouth. |

Irishfest
Irishfest was a big hit this year. Grandpa and Grandma Hyland came for the first time. We discovered the wonderful kids tent which featured games with prizes, and unlimited rides on the little train. Lucy also loved watching the kids irish dancing. She told Mom she would like to do that when she's bigger. I guess out of any dancing, that would be the most entertaining for me personally... Charlie was not a fan of the music, but his mood improved when he wore the headphones.

Lucy's First Day of School!
School: First Congregational Preschool. Young 3k program (parents attend with the child for the first semester).
Lucy woke up this morning excited for her first day of school! She was very cooperative and was standing and waiting at our door to leave 15 minutes earlier than planned (likely the first and only time). We arrived to school extra early and had a chance to "try" the potty. Lucy did not care for the school potties which led to an accident on our first day. During the school day, all the kids do a potty break together and then she was very brave and tried again with success!
Lucy was quite timid at first (and it didn't help that she was doing her potty dance the whole time). She played with playdough, decorated a letter L, and played at the sensory table. After potty break she started warming up and actively participated in story time. She LOVED snack time and was one of 3 kids that sat the whole time carefully eating the entire snack. Mrs. Haro said she already sees who the good eaters are.
The last part of the day was gross motor playtime in the play room. Lucy became very animated and was running all over. She immediately went to the climbing gym and got up a difficult roped ladder and attempted to get over the top of the structure which sent Mrs. Haro into a run across the room. Mrs. Haro asked me if Lucy is always this way; as I think she had Lucy pegged as a quiet/meek child. Lucy also spent some good time going up and down the slide and playing with balls. It was interesting to watch the different classroom personalities as several girls sat quietly playing with the doll house and one sat reading, one boy played quietly with trucks and trains and 3 other kids with Lucy bounced around.
