Allister is all ready for Pre-School

We went to visit Allister's pre-school yesterday, and meet his teacher.

He is in the Peer program just like Harrison, where the classes are run for children with special needs, he will be a peer model. Its a great program here in Dublin and we love it! It encourages nurturing, caring and acceptance.

Here he is outside the school, Wyandot, this is a different school that Harrison was in, we have 4 Elementary schools within about 3 miles of our house because there are so many families here in Dublin.

Allster demanded I take his picture because thats what I did outside Harrison's school :)

Playing with Little People Circus

And of course the soft toys :)

He had a dog called Harrison and Allister.

Making Pizza.

He will start Wednesday going 4 mornings a week.

This means I will have almost 2 hours, 4 mornings a week, child-free.

Ill miss my little guys but Im looking forward to having a little more free time to myself.

Allister played with the Doll House here for a while, and all of his people where fighting, jumping and crashing. It was rather embarrassing seeing this little 3 year old playing so rough! His teacher asked "Does he have an older brother!?" haha can you tell?

His Teacher is Miss Marybeth, and she seems really nice! Im sure Allister will have a lot of fun.

Kindergarten!

Harrison was not phased at all by his first day. He had fun and the only information i could get out of him was he made a friend called Tazer or Razer, he couldn't remember, and they read a book about first day at kindergarten.

And here was Harrison today walking to school. most days we will end up in the car as I have to drop Allister off at a different place first, but we will walk when we can as its only half a mile.

Im so proud of how my boy has grown! I shed a few tears the morning of school, a mix of happy and dad ones. These little ones grow up way too quick!

The wilds!

The Wilds is the largest wildlife conservation park in North America.

The offer an outdoor safari ride- which we got a membership for this year as part of our zoo membership

Its in a beautiful part of Ohio, and a fun day out! Its only open till the end of October as they have to put most of the exotic animals away through the colder months.

Here are some wild horses.

Giraffe! These are so cute :) Apparently its unusual to see Giraffe laying down in the wild due to the risk involved.

A cheetah.

Super Mario looking at some of the many MANY deer.

Camels! So fun!

Well fed Zebra (Zed-bra or Zeee-Bra?)
