Dinos

Daycare was closed last Friday, so Carson spent the day with Grandma and Grandpa Hermsen.  In the afternoon, they took him to a dinosaur exhibit at the Lancaster Event Center.  He had a wonderful time!

Halloween 2013

After much discussion on his part, Carson was a firefighter this year.  He was about to be a pirate, but kept changing his mind.  Thankfully, we had a firefighter dress up outfit at home, so that was easy.

October CF Clinic

Carson had a good clinic visit.  He's up to 38 pounds and 41 inches tall.  His BMI was over 65%, so they were happy with that (they would like it to be over 50%).

Roca Berry Farm

Since I had off today and Carson's preschool was closed, the two of us went out to the Roca Berry Farm for the morning.  It was a bit muddy and cold, but he had a great time.

Building a Fire Truck

A friend of mine told me about these free workshops at Lowes and Home Depot where kids get to build things.  A few weeks ago, she called me up and asked if Carson wanted to join her boys to make a fire truck over at Lowes. 

 

He was quite proud of the truck.

 

His partners in crime--Max and Oscar.

 

They got to keep the aprons and goggles too.  Plus, they got a patch that I will iron on to his apron to mark his accomplishment!

First Day of Preschool

Carson has been going to preschool twice a week for a few hours.  He absolutely loves it.  He has a friend from his daycare that goes with him, so that was great. 

Getting Ready for Preschool

Tomorrow is Open House for Carson's preschool.  I'll pick him up from daycare, go to Open House, then head back to work.  He's been so excited to go for a while now.  Yesterday, he put on his backpack and was doing letters so he would be ready!
