Today we decided we would spend the day together as what might be our last outing as a family of 3. We headed north to Smolak Farms. A friend recommended this farm last weekend when we were looking for a place to go but we never made it out because we decided that maybe painting the bedroom should came first. Well the painting is done and we had one final day to play, so off we went! haha
We had an awesome time at the farm. We went on a hayride, fed the ducks and deer, picked pumpkins, played in the bouncy house and even got some apples! It was the perfect afternoon!

Today after loading Noby into the car after preschool, I opened his backpack to see if there was anything as cute as yesterday in it. Instead I found a note from his teacher. haha The first of many I predict!!
It wasn’t anything bad, and she had already explained to me that he fell on the playground. I just thought it was nice that she included a note in his bag in case she didn’t get to tell me when I picked him up.

Tuesday night we headed over to Aunties house for Noby 2nd birthday party!! Actually it turns out to be his 3rd party because they say to him at school but for us it was his second. Noby was SOOO excited when we showed up and he found Aunties apartment all decorated for him. He also had a great time cooking with Auntie!
Thanks again Bren, for making the night special!!!

Today was Noby’s first day of preschool!!! I was so excited for him but at the same time VERY nervous after that orientation! Plus the teachers wanted me to send him in BIG boy underwear!!! Not the typical pull up that we wear when we leave the house. So I was double nervous! I was happy that Ichiro was able to go with us today; for both moral support and the fact that he could see Noby on his first day.
It was SOOO well! We got there a little early and waited with the other kids for the teacher to come out to the play area. Noby was itching to get in there to play so when the teachers finally arrive he had no problem saying goodbye to us. He actually ran up to Miss Ginny and gave her a big hug then tried to run into the play area. Miss Ginny told Noby to say goodbye to Mom and Dad, so he ran over to us, gave us a hug and kiss (never taking his eye off the play area) and off he went! Tears came to my eyes, but they were good tear. We walked away slowly watching him run around, up and down the slide, he was all over the place! Ichiro kept pulling me, saying “it’s better to walk away!” haha he was right.
I had two hours to myself!!! I was so excited! haha I drove Ichiro to work, grabbed myself a pumpkin spice latte and then, well then I had no idea what to do. haha I called my mom and decided to do a little shopping. I think Thursday I’ll squeeze in a pedicure!!!!
When it was time to pick Noby up, I was so excited to get him. I’m sure things will change and I will LOVE the break and wish it was longer but today I missed him. It was great! He saw me and ran over to me. He was so excited to tell me about his day. How he had a cupcake and they sang Happy Birthday and he got ONE candle!!! When I told him how proud I was of him, he just kept saying “Sooo proud of you!! and giggled! AND HE WAS STILL IN HIS CUTE OUTFIT!! NOOOO ACCIDENTS!!!

So we decided against one big party for Noby this year. As you all know we have a lot going on and we had no idea when Ashihara Baby #2 was actually going to arrive. I could just see me planning a big party and then going into labor that day! And besides when you asked Noby what he wanted for his birthday he just kept saying “a cake with candles!” So that was our plan. My parents came up to help us celebrate with him and as you can tell from the pictures below he had an awesome time and was so surprised by his cake with candles!!!

I haven’t been very good at updating the blog lately. Things have just been busy here and the last thing on my mind is updating. I know it’s a lame excuse. Many people have been asking for updates and pictures of our progress on the room, so here goes.
This past weekend my parents came up to celebrate Noby’s 3 birthday with us!!! Of course it didn’t go as planned because upon arriving my mother thought our time would be better spent getting Noby’s big boy room ready. In the end I have to agree it was the right move. And I’m so happy how much we got done! We aren’t actually done yet but at least the room is painted (for the most part!) Check it out!
I know what you’re thinking… “Is that a BLUE ceiling??” BUT just wait till my vision is done!!! I can’t wait!

Today Noby participated in what will be his first of many graduations! I could hardly believe it when I saw him with the little hat on, there were tears in my eyes! We have been going to Early Intervention “school” for a year and a half now and everyone that has been involved with Noby’s success has been amazing. The entire EI team has truly been like a family to us. Noby has come so far and we can’t thank all his teachers enough!!!
Check out how cute Noby was in his graduation hat!
