A Three-Year-Old's Politics

So, election fever has hit our town. I knew it was consuming us, but I did not know how much until the other day. Aaron and I were riding in the car and suddenly he asked me "Mommy? Who are you going to vote for?" I told him and he said "Why?" So, I told him why I had chosen that person. Then, I asked him, "If you could vote, who would you vote for?" To which he promptly replied, "George Washington!" I was very tickled by his answer, but I felt it only fair to tell him the truth. So, I said "Honey, that's a great choice, but George Washington is dead." He was quiet for a moment and then asked in a very distressed voice "Who killed him?" It was as I was explaining that George Washington had been dead for 200 years that I thought..."I cannot believe I am having this conversation, with my 3-year-old!"

A Visit to the Farm

The other day, Aaron's preschool class took a field trip to a local farm. We had a blast seeing the animals, going on a hay ride and picking out an Aaron sized pumpkin! Here are some pictures of our fun day!

One Last Look...

Take one last look at Aaron sleeping with a Binky. We are now officially Binky free! Hurray! I thought this day would never come!

Preschool Open House

Last night Bug and I attended the "Open House" at his preschool. Upon arriving, we were given a "Scavenger Hunt" of things to find that he has done this year. It was really cute. There were things hanging from the ceiling and all over the walls. After completing the hunt, Aaron was given a baggie full of goodies! It was a fun night!

1st Visit to the Dentist

Aaron had his first visit to the dentist today. We were a bit nervous about the visit, but he did GREAT! He even let the hygienist brush his teeth with the electronic toothbrush (which she said most of the little ones don't let her do!) He got a new toothbrush, some toothpaste, and some floss!
