Marshall's First Day of MDO

I now declare Marshall as the Champion Baby of the MDO! He did so good at Mother's Day Out today! Today was his first day at First Baptist. He's in the Brown Bear room and has two very sweet teachers. I didn't put him in his stroller to go inside this morning (even though he weighs close to 30 lbs and had a backpack, lunch box and a huge bag of diapers and wipes), so he would feel all grown up AND so that I would feel less guilty for sending him to MDO so young! But all guilt was left outside the doors because he didn't even cry when I left him! He went straight to the toys and the "bubbies" (babies)!

The report from the teacher (his Cuddle Gram...awww!)

He napped for 50 minutes, longer that I expected since I didn't expect him to nap at all! He ate almost all of his lunch...no surprise. He ate applesauce and yogurt. I packed a cheese sandwich, which he only ate half of, probably wondering why it wasn't "grilled"! Then he ate his package of blueberry muffins when we got in the car.

I picked him up at 1:15 so I could make it in time to pick up Jake at 1:45 from Hillander. When I arrived, they were on their "walk", which is a little ride around the church on a stroller for 4 babies. SO CUTE! He was in front and when he saw me in the hall his eyes lit up and he said "Hiiiiiiiiiiiii!" in that high pitched voice (like me???) over and over again with this big smile. Best part of my day right there.

Then when we got home I let the boys burn more energy by playing in Jake's room for "Rumble Tumble Time", as we like to call it. They were finally dressed during these shots...and even matching, so I couldn't pass up the photo opp.

Playing "Patty Cake", I swear.

I mean, really, how do you say "no" to this kid??

Marshall loves to play with Jake's shoes, no one else's, just Jake's!

Sweet boy

I love how he looks at big brother

Hungry again, he decided to finish off playtime with a block snack

So far, it has been a successful day. I got so much done and both boys had fun at their little schools and are napping like little angels now! Life is good.

P.S. One of those little angels is up already...talking...pretty sure that if I don't go in there then I can pretend they are both napping.

And I wanted to include another picture...here's Marshall eating breakfast this morning. I just think he looks especially cute here. But I'm super biased;) In this pic, you've got those gorgeous eyes, fat cheeks, fat little hands and monkey jammies...what else could you want!?
