school!

I took Ethan to meet his teacher yesterday! He was so excited. We dropped Gavin off at the babysitters at 8:30 and then we went to the grocery store to pick up some juice boxes, then we went to Tim Horton's (a donut shop). He had some timbits (donut holes) and some chocolate milk. We only were at the school for about 10 min. He saw some tools that he really wanted to play with when we first walked in. At the end the teacher asked if he had any questions and all he said was, "can I play with those tools, now?"
Today is crazy! Perry usually has Wed. off, but because of the holiday had to work it. He got home at 9am and we left right away to go to Gavin's first swimming lesson. He is the oldest there and he has no fear so he is the most advanced. He is 2 1/2 yrs and most of the other kids are less than a year old, so he's not really in their 'category'. They don't have an in between lesson though. After Christmas, he'll be able to go into the next level and that should be more suited to him. Ethan starts lessons tomorrow. After swimming, we called Perry's friend Greame who invited us to go swimmming at his house. So we went over there for about an hour and a half. Then we were really rushed- we had to get Ethan home, fed and off to school in about 20 minutes! We made it just as the teacher was coming out to get the kids. I wish we would have been earlier, but that's the way it goes. We have to pick him up in about half an hour. I haven't gotten any good pictures yet, so hopefully we'll do that when we get him. When we get home, we are going to have an early supper and then he have to go get Ethan's speech checked. I'm not really worried about it now, but earlier this summer he was doing some wierd things with his words! They also asked us if we'd be willing to volunteer him for some trial testing of gross motor skills. Then bedtimes for the kiddies! And relaxing time for us!
