Playdate with Caleb
Today, we met Caleb and Noah at the Menlo playground. Dave just loves meeting up with his buddy Caleb. They are so cute together, each time they see one another their conversations are getting more and more in depth and have real meaning. Sarah and I enjoy listening to them talking and watching how they are developing a good friendship together. The boys spent most of their day looking at a caterpillar that they found together.
Both boys made sure to show Noah the caterpillar, too.
Here's the little caterpillar that they found, remarkably he survived a morning of three little boys playing with him.

Lil'kickers day 1
Today, was Dave's first soccer class!! He loved every minute of it. Here he is in his cool soccer uniform, he's number 7. After, the class the coaches suggested that we think about moving him to next level. Dave is currently in the cottontails group, but the coaches felt that he was able to move to the hoppers group. The hoppers group is for 3- 4 year olds, we have good eye and hand or foot coordination and follow directions well. Moving to the hoppers group would also mean that Dave would be on the field with other kids by himself. So we are going to consider this after one more class at the cottontails level. 
Dave meeting his coach, Coach Kenny and his assistant Coach Brittany. 
Look at me on the soccer field!
All the kids having a race.
Dave listening very carefully to Coach Kenny's instructions on how to kick the soccer ball.

Lil'Kickers open house
Yesterday, we went to the Bucks/Mont Indoor Sports Center to check out the open house for the Lil'kickers program. It's a soccer program that starts at as young as 18 months and goes up to age 9 years. Dave absolutely loved the program and we enrolled him in the cottontails program for the next 12 Tuesdays. His coaches name is Coach Dave, so of course Dave found this to be very cool!! Here are just a few pictures from the open house. 
Here the kids are setting out the cones which they have to pretend are trees. Which later they had to kick a soccer ball around the cones and try not to wake up the birds. Dave understood and was pretty good at handling the ball. But, he did make sure to point our to Coach Dave that the other kids didn't quite understand that they were not supposed to wake up the birds (knock over the cones). So after a little bit Dave's job was then to reset all the trees that the other kids knocked over.
I'm not really sure why Dave has the cones on his head!??

Coach Dave was great at working with the two and three year old crowd, he kept things moving at a very fast pace and kept them interested. They played about half a dozen games or so in the time we were there. Dave is so looking forward to starting on Tuesday!!

Adventure Aquarium
When we woke up today, Chris said let's go to breakfast at Emil's (Dave's favorite place to eat breakfast). After, breakfast Chris asked if we wanted to go to the aquarium, so off we went to New Jersey for the day! 
First thing that Dave wanted to do was touch a sea cucumber.
Here he is touching a star fish. He made sure that he touched every animal in the touch tank!
Dave checking to see which shark he would be if he was a shark. It turns out he weighs as much as a blacktip shark.
Dave and Chris testing their strength to see which shark they are as strong as. They almost made it to great white shark, but not quite. 
Dave checking out the two newest sharks at the aquarium.
Then it was off to the shark tunnel!!! Dave loves watching the sharks swim all around him.
Dave checking all the equipment that a scuba diver wears.
Wouldn't he make a great dinner?
"Look at these big fish, Mom!"
And the best part watching the hippos, when we were at the aquarium in the past the hippos never seemed to do too much, but not the case today.
Here they are getting in!
Dave looks so tiny next to these guys. They look so graceful in the water, even though they are huge.
