before and after

A little refresher on the "before": 

And after: 

Ah, that looks much better!

Seriously, could he be any cuter?

When we walked into school on Wednesday, Punkin's teacher didn't even recognize him!

state fair 2010

Punkin's favorite thing about the State Fair? Feeding the goats!

Last year, he fed them carrot pieces, but this year, he fed them the little pellet food... which meant he had to let them lick them off his palm. I thought he'd freak out about them getting their mouth that close, or at least about them actually licking him, given he never wants his hands dirty, but just look at this face:

Punkin's 2nd favorite thing about the State Fair?

This:

Dude is smart. Seriously, if you do go to the Fair and don't visit the "Pineapple Whip" stand, you're crazy. I recommend the authentic Pineapple Whip stand... you'll know it when you see it... it's in the shape of a Pineapple! Don't settle for the imposters! 

(Note, Punkin is actually drinking an Orange Dream (minus the cream), and I'd have to say, it's also delicious.)

1st day of pre-k photoshoot

Punkin's first day of Pre-K was Monday, August 9th.

You are adorable in your new uniform. And I'm thrilled we didn't struggle over having to wear it. Now, let's keep that up over the coming weeks and months, okay?

I love you Punkin! More than I'll ever be able to express to you.

I hope your year in your new classroom, with your new clothes, and new rules, and new start time will be a wonderful experience for you. Knock 'em dead, kid!

Oh, and don't count on a chocolate chip cookie before school every day!!
