Cooper's First Day of Preschool

Cooper started preschool this August. He goes to Little Friends Preschool in Yorba Linda. We enrolled him in the two's program in the spring and that was when we realized we would have to race to have him potty trained before school began in August. We worked on it all summer and he did a great job! We were really nervous about it when school started but the little guy has done great. No accidents... so far!!!!

Eating breakfast before his first day of school...
Grandma came over to watch Olivia so we could take him to school by ourselves. We weren't sure how he was going to feel about dropping him off and us leaving...

Walking in to his first day of school! It's raining...

Cooper's cubby...

Cooper's classroom and friends... Well, Cooper didn't care what we did from here on out. We tried to say goodbye to him and explain that we were leaving him at school and would be back to pick him up later. He really wasn't interested in what we were doing. He was at school with his new friends and that's all that matters! He LOVES school!

Playing with the zoo...

Washing his hands after using the big boy potty... When we picked him up we asked his teacher how he did with the restroom and she said he did great. He went six times and loved washing his hands! Guess mom and dad didn't need to be so worried.

Adjusting!

I really wasn't sure about Olivia when Mommy and Daddy first brought her home. I couldn't understand why I wasn't getting ALL the attention anymore. I had a few pretty rough days where I was just feeling really sad. Mommy and Daddy did their very best to help me get through this time. And sure enough now I realize that my sister is a part of our family and there is enough love for the both of us! :)

Mommy and Daddy decided at the last minute this morning that we should attempt to go to church. I was excited about it because I really enjoy my sunday school class. We all got ready in just over an hour and were only a few minutes late. Before you know it we will have this down!

All dressed up for church...

Meet Your Teacher

I start preschool on Wednesday next week. Last Thursday we went to my school to meet my teacher Mrs. Estes. I had a lot of fun seeing my classroom, playing with the toys, meeting my new friends, and trying out the potty! :)

Meet My Baby Sister

On the evening of Tuesday August 24th Mommy began to notice her contractions were getting more and more painful and frequent. We called Grandma to come to my house to watch me because we knew Mommy and Daddy would soon be going to the hospital to have my baby sister who I have been anxiously waiting for.

Mommy and Daddy when they first arrived at the hospital...
Olivia was born on August 25th at 5:44 am. She was 7 lbs. 6 oz. and 19 1/2 inches long. I have been blessed with a beautiful, healthy, baby sister. Meet Olivia Christine Hogan!

Lunch and a Movie

Grandma took me to the Aquarium so Mommy and Daddy had one more date before Olivia was going to come. They went out to lunch and then to a movie! And I had a lot of fun with Grandma!
