Three years and three weeks

Collin's class had a party last week to celebrate the end of the school year and the three-year-olds were told to come dressed in their finest.  We rolled into school just before 11am - I still can't handle mornings - with Collin in the tie he wore to Alex and Coady's wedding.  Maya was sporting a cute onesie with matching bow from Cas' co-workers, so before we headed to school, we tried for a second round of sibling shots. 
 
Here's Collin at almost 3 1/2, Maya at three weeks -
The awkward "put your arm around your sister" pose -
Giving her a kiss and trying to get one back from her -
A smile from Collin and Maya looking in the direction of the camera without wailing - it was the best I could get - 
Maya with the fist-under-the-chin pose -
Collin's high one day from school was taking a nap in the tent - so when he got to school he wanted to pose in their loft-turned-tent in his classroom -
This has been such a fun year for Collin.  I'm so thankful for his sweet school and class - some of the kids have been with him since he was 8 months old.  I'm amazed by what he can do - he came home with a book of shapes he cut out when it never would have occurred to me to practice with kid scissors.  I love hearing about his day - whether he's playing duck-duck-goose or pretending to be lions or gazelles or rams with Aiden and Audrey.  His teachers are so sweet and they encourage his imaginative play and great story-telling.  I'm so thankful for my part-time schedule that gives him a great mix of playing with others and learning at school and time home with me and now Maya on my days off!
