Blue Stripes

In the mountain of new parent paperwork we received for Seb's daycare, they ask you to bring in a camera so they can capture the things that go on and you don't feel bad for missing a huge chunk of your child's day.  The camera was in his drawer the other day because the battery died, so it was the perfect opportunity for me to browse his pictures and see the things he enjoys.  If he could talk, here's what he'd tell me:

Crawling in this ginormous room is so much fun!  It's way bigger than the living room.

Can my fishy friends see and hear me blowing raspberries?

If I sit right in the doorway, I can see what goes on both inside and outside.  

I won't miss out on anything, like Mamma coming to pick me up.

I got tired of painting on the paper so I painted my leg.  

Mommy likes purple, she'll think it's pretty.

Too bad I can't count yet, I bet there's a hundred balls in here! 

Do I roll this, bounce it, throw it, or chew on it?

It's a masterpiece and I didn't even paint my leg this time!

In looking at his pictures I've realized I dress him in a lot of stripes and a lot of blue.  I love how blue clothes makes Seb's eyes stand out, but maybe I should explore other color options since it's finally cooling off and we're getting ready to invest in winter clothes.  My favorite comment about his clothing came from Adam (who has been working like crazy for the last 6 weeks).  He saw a picture of Seb playing and said, "Why is he wearing some other kids clothes???"  No dear, those are his clothes, you've been working so much you really only see your son in his pajamas in the morning.  Yes dear, he really does have a cute green Kermit tee.  Why?  Why not, it's Kermie.

I love, love, love this last picture.  It's from the day they did a sensory activity with blue jello and I dropped off a little boy that morning and picked up a smurf.  It was fun to see pictures of the activity and see his little toddler hands squishing the jello and eating it.  I just think this is a really cute picture and he looks like he's having fun.  I love the expression on his face and that one of his teachers pulled up his hoodie for the shot.
