Kueffer and Daddy's talk about 'God'

The other day, Kueffer and Mommy were driving to the park when Kueffer said 'Daddy said that God is everywhere. He said that he is in our house, at school, in the car, and he REALLY likes peanut butter!'
The night before when Daddy and Kueffer were reading books, Kueffer picked out 'The church is a special place' book to read. He received this from our church when he was ready to move from the nursery to Sunday School and every once in a while, Kueffer likes to read it. That night, Daddy and K got into a deeper discussion as Kueffer was asking lots of questions like 'who is God?'. I am so glad that Daddy could tell him all about it and Kueffer really got it. I just love how his mind works...not sure that Daddy mentioned the whole peanut butter thing, but I'm sure God is okay with peanut butter too!

So this is what Mommy sounds like?

Music Appreciation

Daddy and Kueffer were watching Little Einsteins after dinner. Daddy started to whistle along to the classical music on tv when Kueffer said 'Daddy, let the music sing' and put his hand over his mouth.

I guess that his weekly music classes are giving him a more sophisticated appreciation to music!

Messy, sleep boy

Sunscreen!

Obviously Mommy's insisting on 'lotioning up' every time Kueffer was outside seemed to have an effect. Kueffer found the sunscreen and 'lotioned up' the other day when he wanted to go outside. nice.

Tis the Season

for FOOTBALL and the Dawdy's are ready!

Kueffer and Daddy were out bonding and tossing the pigskin.
Kueffer tried some more advanced moves- like running and trying to catch. He did get pretty good at passing
Mommy and Daddy did call you our 'Quarterback Rocket Scientist' at birth....no pressure.Love his 'Heisman Move'!

Graduation

Last Tuesday night, Kueffer graduated...from the Shawnee Mission School District Parents as Teachers program. It was so cute to watch as each little 3 year old was called to the stage by their PAT coordinator and get their 'diploma', graduation cap and gift. Kueffer was the second child to be called to the stage by Miss Janet and he did such a great job. He let her put the cap on and stood like such a big boy accepting his applause from the crowd- seriously.

After the ceremony, he couldn't wait to hug Miss Janet. Well, he actually hugged another coordinator too- feeling pretty special, I guess.
I can't believe that our little guy has already graduated. Ah, the milestones just keep coming!

It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's...

Super Kueffer!!!

Kueffer was 'saving the day' the other morning, so mommy caught a few photos. When I asked him to smile for the camera, he replied 'Super Heros don't smile.'

He wore his cape to preschool that day and when his teacher said 'Good Morning, Kueffer', he said to Miss Julie, 'I'm not Kueffer, I'm Super Kueffer'!

Silver Shark Attack!

Kueffer's first real soccer game was last Sunday,
although I'm not sure that that players were aware of it! :) His team this fall is the 'Silver Sharks'. Much more tough than the Blue Whales of last spring- obviously more cut throat than the 2 year old division!Kueffer going over his 'strategy' with the team!

According to Kueffer, he scored a goal - not sure for what team as they were usually running in the wrong direction. And he was very bummed when another little boy scored- apparently Daddy and Mommy need to work on team work. He did have a great assist to a teammate too.

The game ended after the littles were taking MANY water breaks- an hour is a long time especially on a hot day like Sunday- and the score was even, I think.
High fives with the other team after the game...cute!

Way to go, Sharks...even though your team only had 4 players and the other team had 8,
you did a great job!

Super (Hero) Sunday

A couple of weeks ago, Daddy, Mommy and Kueffer went to the KC Zoo to meet
...SPIDERMAN!!!

Because we seem to time everything perfectly, when we arrived, our super hero was on a much needed break. ;) Daddy and Mommy took turns saving our place in line. While we were waiting, Kueffer finally got to see Nikita the polar bear swim...it was so cool! We all may have risked our lives to take a short dip with Nikita as it was SO HOT that day!When the time finally came, Kueffer was thrilled to meet SPIDERMAN!

Spidey was a really good sport too and chatted with K and posed for pics. K had A LOT to tell himSpiderman hug!

Thanks, Spiderman...too bad that Batman was off fighting bad guys that day and could not join you. (That's what Mommy and Daddy told Kueffer when he asked. )

First Day of Preschool

Today was Kueffer's first day of preschool!It's hard to believe that our little boy is big enough to start 'school', but he was definitely ready!
Kueffer is attending Village Preschool.This is the same preschool that Daddy went to many, many years ago. ;)He was excited to go today and we all actually arrived early,
so we were able to get some cute photos of a very excited little boy!Once we made it to the classroom, he was gone.
Not sure that he even said 'good bye'...He was ready to start having some fun!This was 'Mommy's view from the door- K is already in the back playing with a new friend!
Daddy and Mommy are so proud of their BIG preschooler.
Love you, Kueffer!

Preschool Playdate!

Last week, Kueffer and Mommy went to the park for a playdate with some of Kueffer's new preschool friends! We thought it may be nice to get to know each other a bit before the 'Big Day' next week. All of the kiddos got along so well and it was nice to meet the mommies too!

K's first 'Rock' concert

A couple of weeks ago, Daddy, Mommy and Kueffer went to a 'Kid Rock' show. No, not Kid Rock, but kiddie rock...we went to see the Doo Dads at a bar. It was early for the toddler and parent crowd. About mid set, Kueffer really started to get into it- rocking out to 'I'm a little airplane', 'Potty song' , ....yeah, you get the picture.
They were actually really good. Word on the street is that they were former punk rockers that got married and had kids. Funny how children change everything- for the better. :)
