We have no idea where this came from, but it's all he talks about and plays with. He has maybe 10 small "fingerboard" toy skateboards and got a cool skatepark set for Christmas that he loves.<br />
<br />
So...as we are complete suckers, we got him a real skateboard. And the answer to everyone's first question is NO. He cannot and is not allowed to ride it standing up without one of us holding both of his hands. He mostly uses it to roll around sitting or lying down and it goes everywhere with him. He even uses it as a tray to eat when he has a snack on the couch. And this past weekend, he took it even a little further.<br />

<br />
His school recently hosted an Art Gala. All of the classrooms focused on one element of art--line, color, form, texture...Simon's class focused on form and they all made very intricate masks. His was an awesome robot head, check it out!<br />

And at home, robots are everywhere as usual. Simon loves to pretend to be a transformer/robot type of creature pretty often:</div>

And this might be the sweetest thing ever. Simon had a good friend named Benjamin that he used to go to daycare with. Benjamin moved away to NJ a couple of years ago, but Simon still talks about him regularly. Last fall, he asked if he could write Benjamin a letter, so I found his mom's email, wrote and asked for their address. She said Benjamin still talked about Simon too, and that he would love to be penpals! So we started by sending him a card that Simon dictated to me, and right before Christmas, we got an awesome card back from Benjamin, with a cool Frozen drawing that he had done inside! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Simon spent a lot of time thinking about what he wanted to send back, and finally decided on a Lego robot. He built this one below, and then I took each piece apart and hot glued it together, with his blessing, so it could travel more safely. We added a card and the package went out today!</div>

Both boys showed off their awesome moves after bath one night. Nate is playing Batman here while performing frozen magic like Elsa while Simon is a robot/transformer, of course.<br />

We have been getting out as much as we can--here are some of the things we have been up to this past few weeks:<br />
<br />
<br />
Simon and his friend Finn got together at a cool park recently for a play date. They were super cute together, and would lie on their stomachs to chat while waiting their turn for the zip line. Simon also got a chance to show off his climbing skills...it's time for a rock wall soon!<br />

We took a ferry ride over to Bainbridge Island a couple of weeks ago. The boys LOVED the boat, and spent both trips up front running around in the wind. Over on the island, we checked out a very cool playground, blew some bubbles and ate ice cream while walking around the cute little downtown area.<br />

We had a great holiday--Grandma came out to visit and the boys were in heaven with all of the excitement.<br />
<br />
On Christmas eve, we all got prepped. The boys got new pajamas as their final 25 Days of Christmas treat and Grandma read the classic, Twas the Night Before Christmas, before bedtime. And of course we put out cookies for Santa and snacks for the reindeer!<br />

The next morning started around 6am and we all opened our stockings. We got Grandma up at about 7 and started opening the gifts under the tree. And wow, did we have a great Christmas with some really special gifts from family (and Santa, of course!).<br />
<br />
Simon got something called the Batbot, a remote controlled Batman vehicle that transforms itself. Needless to say, it was right up his alley.<br />
<br />

And one of Nate's favorites from the morning was his "walking-on piano" (thanks Nana and Papa W!).<br />
<br />

I even got pulled into playing the piano, here's a video that I didn't know mom took at the time. :)<br />

The next few days were fun, with Grandma still here and the four of us home from school and work. We played with new toys, read books and watched movies at home, went over to Bellevue for an early New Year's dance party, and Mom and I even went together to check out some dresses for me for Karyn and Fernando's upcoming wedding!<br />

Simon, as he has in the past, really took it to heart, and chose about 5 toys to donate. Nate didn't quite understand, but would review Simon's choices and approve (or veto).<br />

And finally, Day 24 was Christmas eve, of course! But I'm going to hold on that and do a separate post soon!<br />

<br /></div>
<div>
First, at ELDC, we had a potluck dinner with all of the families and teachers before the kids sang a few winter songs for us. Nate has been practicing his singing quite a bit, particularly Winter Wonderland. And Simon went ahead and jumped right in to sing with the group, I don't think it even crossed his mind that this isn't actually his school anymore. Thankfully the teachers didn't seem to mind!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And at Simon's new school, Young Child Academy, we were invited to spend an hour in the classroom with his Pre-K 2 class. When we got there they were playing Pin the Carrot on the Snowman (FYI: 5 years olds ALL cheat at this game). Then their music teacher came in and led them through a few songs that they had practiced. Then the big performance started--their teacher, Sarah, read the book A Silly Snowy Day, and the kids acted it out in costumes they had made. And guess what? Simon was the "lead" character, Shelly the turtle! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Settle in, this one is over 6 minutes long. And keep an eye (and ear) out for the extra special contribution Simon made to the performance at about 4 minutes in. </div>

On Days 8 through 12, I had to travel to VA for a bunch of work meetings, and Matt was in charge of the drawers and activities. We don't have a lot of pictures since Matt was more than a little busy, but the three boys had a lot of fun together. The checked out Google Earth to see where Santa lives and how he travels across the world on Christmas eve; they watched Rudolph and made JiffyPop on the stove; they had fancy hot chocolate and finally, made snowflakes and a sign to welcome me home, which I loved.<br />

Day 12 marked the arrival of Kennedy the Elf, for his third season with our family. The boys were amused to find that he had apparently snuck here in my suitcase!<br />

Day 14 we did a really cool craft--acorn jewels! We also headed to Crate and Barrel to pick up this year's special new ornaments, and for the first time, the boys chose their own. Simon picked a cool nutcracker and Nate chose a felt bird.<br />

So this is a little belated, but here's how we celebrated Nate's third birthday.<br />
<br />
First, we celebrated on his actual birthday with a small cake and candles, yum! His present from us was his long-desired Seahawks helmet! And he clearly really enjoyed his cake, as you can see from the background of the video below, which also features Simon's explanation of how to delete an app from an Apple device.<br />

Then, we had his very first kiddie birthday party, at the Dragon Room at the local community center. It's a room that's used for preschool during the week and has lots of great spaces and fun activities for kids this age. We had snacks, played a lot, did a craft and, of course, had cupcakes and sang happy birthday. Nate had a great time!!<br />

That same weekend, we went to a Halloween dance party at EMP, sponsored by KEXP, the local public radio station. The boys had a lot of fun, and Simon even met another Bumblebee to dance with. The event ended with a parade, including a real brass band!<br />

We all took the day off from school and from work, spent the morning hanging out at home and then got the boys in costume. We went to my office first, where the boys rounded up a bunch of candy and met my coworkers.<br />
<br />
We then went to a party at ELDC--Nate's current and Simon's former daycare--where we saw some of Simon's old friends and got to do fun activities in each room.<br />
<br />
And finally, what the boys were really waiting all day for, we went trick or treating! We went to downtown Ballard where all of the stores are open to the kids for trick or treating, and boys had a fantastic time. We even stopped for an impromptu dance party at a store that was playing music ou<br />
<br />
Both boys chose their costumes this year, and so, I present, Bumblebee the Transformer and Christopher Robin (from Winnie the Pooh):<br />

The boys had a wonderful time, and Grandma came prepped with tons of fun activities and even some awesome surprises for the boys. They did crafts and coloring, took selfies, went to the beach and the playground, had tons of fun with bath beads that grew into all kinds of shapes and on and on. Grandma even did some daycare runs with Nate...it was a great visit! Here are a few of our favorite photos from the visit.<br />

To start to make up for it, here are three videos of Nate being Nate. Disclaimer: Simon isn't much into being recorded on demand these days, hence the Nate-centric post.

Apparently his teacher mixed up mom and dad here, according to Simon. :) And if you look closely, you can see where he tried to write our names too. I love that he included Leia in our family picture!<br />
