Dance Class & Preschool

Reagan started tap & ballet class last month.  She loves it!  She's really quite good too.  Unfortunately all the pictures I took of her are really bad, so I'll try to get some better ones next week.  Her recital is March 20th and you are all invited!
Reagan's preschool teacher finally took pity on all the younger siblings of her students and started a 1 day a week preschool for the 3 year olds.  Coen was soooo excited!  He thinks he's pretty cool now that he gets to go to school and Reagan has to stay home.
He had to wear his Thomas shirt and bring his duck back pack filled with fruit snacks and gold fish for snacks for his friends.  His teacher said he did pretty well- only refusing to join in on one activity.  Next time they get to learn about Trains and he can't wait!  (They don't have class this week because there is no school for the big kids and I'm afraid to tell him.)

FINALLY Coen turns 3!

The night before his birthday he got a fever, so I was a little nervous about how he would wake up, but he was really excited to see his balloons, birthday banner and donuts.
Cute huh?  I called the dr. first thing to get medicine...  We went to the store and it was a total fiasco trying to get his medicine, but he wore his crown and cape so it was kind of cool.  He had to wear the cape with McQeen in the front so he could see him, so it was funny (at least to me).
Anyway, we didn't get it 'til almost dinner time.  We practically had to force him to open his presents.  A new bike, Thomas the Tank Engine Train Tracks, & a Semi full of cars among other things, were only slightly interesting.  We took him to eat at Hot Rod Cafe where they have big cars inside, an arcade room, dinner in a car & for dessert you get to go into an ice cream truck to pick what you want.  It started out fun, but he ended up not eating anything and didn't even want dessert.
So we ended up waiting 3 days until he felt a little bit better to have his cake.  I was going to try and do a really cool cake, but he saw these cars at the store and had to have them, so for the 2 weeks leading up to his birthday he was really excited, even if he doesn't look like it in the picture.  Happy Birthday buddy!  We love you & all the funny things you say!
