When Sage was 2 1/2, our church opened a Mom's Day Out, which is now that and a school. Sage was one of the founding members, and looking back, I would have never put her in as early as I did. She hated it up until she went to K4 preschool at another school all together. Granted, her teacher at our church acted like she never wanted to be there, but I still just think it was too young. Once she started in that, she never stopped going to SOMETHING. She only went 3 days a week, but it was still something she didn't have to do...I'm glad that with Jaggar that I've done things differently. I know now that once school starts...it NEVER ends. It's a driving force to your schedule and your life basically.
Jaggar and I are home a LOT, and I love it because it's a luxury that children don't get for long enough. I think people are nuts with all of the stuff that they put their kids in these days: dance, soccer, cheer, basket ball, tennis, golf, pageants...they never have time to just PLAY. I think that's a problem. I love being home with my kids, and it's a blessing that I don't take for granted. Jaggar will have to go to preschool next year because I think it's in his best interest to not be traumatized when he goes to kindergarten, as well as his teachers not being traumatized. :) I told Travis, "He needs to learn...how to listen." I mean, it's kind of true. He basically does what he wants here, so being seated and being told what to do and when to do it for 8 hours in school would be a shock. So, until then, we enjoy each other.
This ipad case is like the greatest thing ever to him. He calls it his "puter" because it looks like a computer to him. He loves the Disney Jr app on it because he can watch all of his favorite shows with the swipe of his finger. Sidenote: Sage tried to swipe the screen of our desk top yesterday. Technology is scary.

Daily. He hikes his pants up as high as he can and waits for all to laugh. :) This is a FUNNY child. The other day, he didn't take a nap, and I said, "I am not happy with you." He said, "Okay...well, tell me when you get happy," as he walked away. It was totally innocent on his part, too. What could I do but laugh?
We swim pretty much every single day, minus the past few rainy ones. It will be a sad day when it's officially too cool to do that.

He plays a mean game of hide 'n seek. He really thinks that no one can see him. Too cute. He's literally laying in the middle of the floor and saying, "Come and find me!"
