Summers end

A Day at the Pittsburgh Zoo!

Since summer has quickly come to an end

at the Keith home we decided to take one last day

and go on a day trip to the zoo.

Caleb has always liked the zoo. Elijah is just begining to show an

interest in animals. "moo's" as he calls them are his favorite.

Well, we didn't see any "moo's" at the zoo however he

enjoyed the penguins, the turtles, and the elephants.

He watched the animals in awe. And for some reason everything

was a "neigh" which is his word for horse. We bought him a stuffed

black bear which for some reason he named "boo boo"

Yes, it does sleep with him along with his large stuffed Nemo from

Disney, his large stuffed "babbit" and his "meme" which is his

large stuffed mickey. I often tell him something has got to go or

there will be no room in the bed for him. He just giggles.

He is definately a kid who knows how he likes things.

Usually he has all these large stuffed things arranged just so

when he goes to bed. It is quite amusing watching the process.

Elijah's First day of School!

8/14/09

Well, Summer has come to an end and Elijah has begun daycare again. Friday was his first day and he seemed to do okay. He is in the toddler room now. I took him that morning and stayed for an hour or so. My, it was hard to leave him. But he has become such a big boy. There are many more rules in the toddler room. Elijah had a hard time the first day getting that, but I have no doubt in time he will do fine. At least he is allowed to have his "dee dee" which is his blankie. I think sending him off to school is harder on Mommy than it is on him. He really seems to enjoy being with the other kids.
