Austen Famous Rodey

Drop off went well. We met Mrs. Jarvis and found Austen's cubby. At the end of the day, Austen was red faced and hyper. She ran out the door, chasing her friends ... and can't wait to go back tomorrow.

"But it's not going down into my throat!", exclaimed Austen after
much chewing. She accidentally ate a gumball, thinking it was candy.

Austen is into picking her own clothes. She likes fancy shoes, dresses that poof when she spins and stockings in June. Hair accessories are not in favor but Mommy tries to push them.

Little pastry chef.

The wacky weather didn't affect all the beachfront fun at Katie's 4th and Josie's 2nd birthday parties.

Austen and her preschool mates graduated today and entertained all the parents with a song recital. We're a little sad that the class has ended; Austen made so many friends, learned a lot and loved her teachers.

Austen sung her heart out today at Preschool Graduation, A Celebration
of Song. Mommy, Daddy and Gage sat in the front row and videotaped.

After serendipitously finding a fishing for kids booth at a local Metuchen street fair, Austen took her newly purchased Princess Fishing Pole for a spin. Using canned corn nibblets as bait (neither Mama or Dada wanted to handle worms), we came up a bit short, though some fish managed to eat the corn off of our hook without getting caught.

We might need to recruit Grandpa Earl for better results...
