Carter's 1st Day of Daycare

Our baby had to start daycare on Monday, August 10th. We had been to visit a few times to meet his teachers and drop off his supplies so that the 1st morning wouldn't be so hectic. He is going to our church daycare which is only a 5 minute drive down the road. Joe takes Carter each morning and Courtney picks him up each afternoon after school. He did GREAT his 1st week! Courtney has called everyday to check on him and one of our friends, Beth, has checked on him a few times when she drops her son off.

Carter was all ready to go in Joe's car- paci and little choo-choo in hand!

He was so tired having to get up at 7:00am. Look at those eyes!

Carter immediately went for the toys as soon as Joe put him on the mat. He watches EVERYTHING that goes on and is afraid if he naps too long that he'll miss something!

The Children's Museum

On Thursday, July 30th, Courtney took Carter to The Children's Museum of Oak Ridge. She was previewing it for a possible field trip for her 1st graders this year. The older kids loved it! We can't wait to take Carter to these type of places when he can really enjoy it! He seemed to have a good time with the things he could get in to.

The kiddos ready for an adventure!

He was interested in the wooden beads on it.

The museum had a water room and Courtney let Carter play with the boats.
He really liked this part!

He had trouble holding on to the big boats
but did the best he could to splash around.

He was not cooperating with the camera this day as you can tell from this photo. His favorite new toy to play with is... paper! He loves the crinkle noise it makes.
