Seamus keeps us laughing. We made sock puppets and he insisted on wearing his on his foot. I guess it IS a sock (puppet).

Yesterday was a very sad day.  We said goodbye to our friend and daycare provider, Katey.  For three years she has loved Seamus and cared for him as if he was her own.  He was six weeks old when he started going to her house.  Now that he is starting preschool, he won't be going to her anymore.  So it's very bittersweet.  It's so great that he is starting preschool, but so sad that he won't be going to Katey's.  I keep consoling myself with the fact that we didn't move away (and neither did she) and that we can come and visit.  She's a real gem and we were so lucky to have found her. 

In other news, Seamus continues to be a total riot.

He told Jim that he had a spiderweb on his face.  Jim looked in a mirror and saw a grey hair. 

Seamus tooted in the tub and begged Jim to "clean the fart out of the water."  He was standing up, pointing at the water and very distressed.  I had to go in there, drain the tub for 1.8 seconds, and tell him it was all gone.  Then I gave him Eve's new rubber duck from the dentist.  

That night he INSISTED that he get to sleep with his Bigfoot doll.  When I went to take this picture he said, "Say cheese, Bigfoot!"

We're all looking forward to our first days of school on Wednesday.  Pictures and stories to follow...

Update:
I forgot to mention he had his 3 year well-visit at the beginning of the month.  He was 37  inches (40th percentile) and 31 lbs (43rd percentile).
